Abstract

The article considers Ukrainian realities and specifics of armed conflicts in the post-bipolar world in the context of NBICS-technologies. To solve this problem, an integrative approach was used, which involves considering the object of study in its connections and interdependencies with other processes and phenomena, as well as taking into account the interaction of various factors that determine the formation and development of conflictizational phenomena. After the collapse of the bipolar model, there was a deep crisis in the provision of all security systems (international, macro-regional, mesoregional, national and micro-regional). The fundamental problem of international relations in the post-bipolar world is the high level of their conflict. In the days of globalization, one of the first places is technical and technological, scientific, innovative and information factors (associated with the development of nanotechnology, genetic engineering, the formation of global information technology networks of production and marketing, with the integration of science, education and production, that is, with all the leading industries of the sixth technological mode), nowadays these factors and NBICS-technologies are becoming more interdependent. In today's world, the sciences of the strategic level are those that are part of the NBICS complex (these are the scientific disciplines that develop the latest nano-, bio-, information, cognitive and social technologies). Since both Ukrainian studies and conflictology belong to the field of socio-humanitarian studies, they can be aimed at developing and using the deconflictizational potential of Ukrainians, as well as information, cognitive, social and creative resources of the Ukrainian person and the Ukrainian community. Integrative capabilities of modern Ukrainian studies allow combining conceptual tools and research principles not only of Ukrainian studies and conflict studies, but also of social philosophy, history, political science, cognitology, information science, sociology, culturology, psychology, anthropology, military science in the study of conflictizational processes of the cultural and historical space of Ukrainians in the conditions of modern challenges and threats.
