The article proves the necessity of implementing socio-humanitarian technologies during ongoing global geopolitical instability. Modern people’s diplomacy is defined as information and communication technology with new qualitative characteristics. The authors (1) provide a definition of people’s diplomacy as a social and humanitarian phenomenon with a range of distinctive characteristics, that differentiates it from public diplomacy or, in particular, cultural diplomacy, and identify the types of public diplomacy and its potential. General theoretical calculations are applied to the relations of Western countries and Ukraine to Russia and Crimea after reunification. Based on the analysis of the modern agenda of discussing the Crimean case in the practice of such international organizations as the UN and the OSCE, the authors raise the question of changing the agenda from interstate to humanitarian. Within the study the authors highlight the scientific type of people’s diplomacy, the attention is focused on the role and opportunities of the international scientific community in the peaceful settlement of the humanitarian problems.
