Abstract

Ovaj rad analizira ulogu nedržavnih oružanih aktera u međunarodnim odnosima, s fokusom na ukrajinsku brigadu Azov i njen doprinos tijekom sukoba u Ukrajini od 2014. do 2022. godine. Korištenjem teorijskog okvira realizma, liberalizma i konstruktivizma, istraživanje ispituje ulogu nedržavnih aktera poput Azova u vojno-političkom kontekstu. Brigada Azov, prvotno osnovana kao bojna, evoluirala je iz paravojne jedinice u važan subjekt međunarodnih odnosa, postavši poznata zbog svoje desničarske ideologije i međunarodnih kontroverzi. Unatoč tome, brigada je stekla povjerenje u Ukrajini zbog svojih vojnih postignuća i otpora ruskoj agresiji. Rad istražuje strukturu brigade, lanac zapovijedanja, međunarodne veze i reakcije na djelovanje Azova, uz poseban naglasak na percepciju međunarodne zajednice i odgovore na ključna istraživačka pitanja o ulozi nedržavnih aktera u suvremenim međunarodnim odnosima.

Abstract (english)

This paper analyzes the role of non-state armed actors in international relations, focusing on the Ukrainian Azov Brigade and its contributions during the conflict in Ukraine from 2014 to 2022. Using the theoretical frameworks of realism, liberalism, and constructivism, the research examines the role of non-state actors like Azov within a military-political context. Originally established as a battalion, the Azov Brigade evolved from a paramilitary unit into an important entity in international relations, gaining notoriety for its far-right ideology and international controversies. Despite this, the brigade earned trust within Ukraine due to its military achievements and resistance to Russian aggression. The paper explores the structure of the brigade, its chain of command, international connections, and reactions to Azov’s actions, with a particular focus on the international community's perception and responses to key research questions on the role of non-state actors in contemporary international relations.
