Резюме:

The study investigates mass psychology, propaganda, and information warfare as constitutive structural dimensions of contemporary geopolitics. It advances the argument that geopolitical power is undergoing a substantive transformation, gradually decoupling from its classical foundations—territorial control, resource dominance, and military capability— and becoming increasingly oriented toward the governance of perceptions, affective states, and cognitive architectures. Through an interdisciplinary approach integrating insights from political psychology, international relations theory, and critical media analysis, the study demonstrates how collective emotions function as a strategic resource capable of legitimizing policies, mobilizing societies, and “shaping” conflicts. The analytical framework is illustrated through three comparative case studies, revealing diverse technological and historical contexts of psychological mobilization.
