The dissertation is entitled:
“The Role of Psychological Warfare in Managing International Conflict: A Case Study of the Russian–Ukrainian Conflict Since 2014.”
The study examined the role of psychological warfare in managing international conflict, with particular focus on the Russian–Ukrainian conflict. It explored the extent to which psychological warfare tools have contributed either to intensifying the crisis or to attempts at resolving it. The findings revealed that both parties extensively employed psychological warfare through diverse methods, resulting in significant repercussions at multiple levels due to the inability to predict the trajectory of the conflict. The study recommended the reopening of dialogue, the revival of diplomatic solutions, and the avoidance of psychological, political, and media escalation between the two states.
It is noteworthy that researcher Mossad Abu El-Diar serves as Professor of Psychology and Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Suez University. He presented his dissertation within the framework of the university’s commitment to encouraging interdisciplinary studies between the humanities and political sciences.
