It is expected that the project will study a number of ideological paradigms of Islamic doctrine, which are spread among Muslims of Ukraine by Islamic transnational structures, the degree of social and cultural accommodation in Ukraine of diasporas and migrants from Muslim countries; analysis of coverage of socio-political processes in the countries of the "Great Middle East" in the modern scientific literature; conducting field research in the regions of Ukraine; approbation of results within the framework of scientific activities; monitoring the socio-political situation in the Greater Middle East countries, the activity of Muslim communities in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. popup.description2 The problem of institutionalization of Islam has become one of the key topics in the context of the analysis of religious dynamics in modern Europe, starting from the second half of the 1990s. European researchers point to the great variability of the ways of embedding Muslim organizations into the system of state-confessional relations of different European countries in accordance with local, historically formed models of interaction of the state with dominant religious centers. One of the latest attempts to understand these processes has become the paradigm of “churching” of Islam in Eastern and Western Europe. According to this approach, it is the “church” – in the sociological, not in the Christian theological definition – that is the basic model of religious organization in the European space. As a result, in order to gain recognition at the legislative level or even certain preferences from the state, Muslim organizations have to “church” themselves, that is, adapt institutional forms that are not characteristic of Islam.
