INTERSECTORAL COMMUNICATION AS A FACTOR OF RESILIENCE IN THE CONDITIONS OF INTERNATIONAL HYBRID THREATS

This article explores cross-sectoral communication as an adaptive governance model in response to international hybrid threats emerging in a fragmented postmodern world. It analyzes the conceptual shift from “crisis prevention” to “living within crisis as the new normal,” known as the resilience turn. The study emphasizes the growing importance of coordination across governmental, private, civil society, academic, and digital sectors in ensuring societal resilience through flexible, decentralized, and participatory networks.The research draws on interdisciplinary theoretical approaches — including discursive analysis, resilience theory, and complexity governance — and integrates empirical insights from international crisis simulations conducted in Ukraine during 2022–2023. These simulations involved over 160 participants from various sectors and demonstrated how cross-sectoral platforms enhance consensus-building and decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. A key finding confirms that communicative action grounded in dialogue and mutual recognition significantly increases the coherence of response strategies.The paper also investigates the evolution of resilience discourse in EU and NATO policy frameworks and applies these insights to the Ukrainian context, where hybrid warfare has created demands for horizontal coordination and locally grounded security mechanisms. Concepts such as ad hoc alliances, localization, and situational resilience are introduced to explain new forms of political agency and adaptive solidarity.The study concludes that intersectoral communication is not merely a response tool but a structural core of modern resilience architecture, especially relevant in the face of hybrid threats that transcend institutional and national boundaries.
