- Abstract
In the context of counteracting the hybrid war, targeting the Euro-Atlantic project as a whole, intensifying the fight against destructive propaganda and the need to build effective strategic communications as a mechanism for this fight, the issue of differentiating these concepts and clarifying their essence becomes relevant. The current legislation, available scientific and lexicographical works do not give an unambiguous answer about the peculiarities of propaganda, strategic / social communications. Therefore, the following are in demand: comprehensive study and generalization of all sources related to this issue; critical rethinking of the provisions developed by practitioners and scientists in this field; developing an unambiguous position on the cooperation of the terms «propaganda», «strategic communications», «social communications». In view of this, the article forms arguments in favour of distinguishing these terminological units, taking into account: the characteristics of destructive activities of propaganda, provided by the Strategy of the National Security of Ukraine, Criminal Code of Ukraine, Law of Ukraine «On Condemnation of Communist and National Socialist (Nazi) Totalitarian Regimes in Ukraine and Prohibition of Propaganda of Their Symbols», experts in the field of counteracting external aggression against Ukraine; strategic and social communications, localized by scientists in a constructive way. The results of the study made it possible to develop authorial definitions of these concepts, which correspond to the American approach to the definition of propaganda and strategic communications. Their further use will help synchronize domestic terminology with relevant terminology of the Euro-Atlantic community, develop coherent mechanisms for counteracting hybrid warfare and combating negative information influences.
