Book Synopsis National Security Drivers of Ukraine by : Oleksandr Radchenko
Download or read book National Security Drivers of Ukraine written by Oleksandr Radchenko and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the key informational, communication, and socio-political drivers of the Ukrainian state's national security. Since the beginning of the third millennium, there has been an aggravation of global inter-civilizational confrontations, which in 2022 has already resulted in an open military aggression against Ukraine. The hybrid wars against the world of democracy have put ensuring the national security of states on the front pages of world and national agendas. Using the example of Ukraine, the book demonstrates how, in order to achieve their geopolitical interests, authoritarian regimes incite information wars as a prerequisite for the transition to an armed "hot" war. It further shows how these processes actualize the formation of a fundamentally new state policy to ensure information and, more broadly, national security. The book identifies the main threats to national security in modern states and identifies ways of protecting Ukraine's national interests. The book will appeal to scholars, students, and researchers of political science, international relations, social sciences, and neighboring disciplines, as well as practitioners and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of national security drivers and protecting national interests.

Book Synopsis Ukrainian Foreign and Security Policy by : Jennifer D.P. Moroney
Download or read book Ukrainian Foreign and Security Policy written by Jennifer D.P. Moroney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-04-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key country for stability and security in Europe, Ukraine is struggling to create consistent foreign and security policies. Political alliances, identity struggles, economic goals, and geopolitical position all pull this newly emergent state in different and often conflicting directions. Due to its dependencies on both the West and Russia, Ukraine's foreign policy is in a state of flux. To ensure stability in this newly-emergent state, the contributors to this volume argue that the West should be more assertive in offering an unambiguous developmental perspective, supporting democracy and the rule of law, and offer E.U. affiliation in the near future. International Relations theory and Ukraine's foreign policy are examined in the first section, followed by chapters exploring civil-military relations. Next comes a look at Ukraine's foreign and security policy orientations in comparative context. The book concludes with chapters focusing on matters of national identity, ideology, and their impact on Ukrainian security policy. Scholars and analysts of contemporary Eastern European politics will be interested in what these well-known scholars and government officials have to say about the contemporary state of affairs in this pivotal nation.
Book Synopsis The Role of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine in Political Decision-Making Process by : Oleksiy Syvak
Download or read book The Role of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine in Political Decision-Making Process written by Oleksiy Syvak and published by . This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis examines the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) and its role in the political decision-making process. The paper analyzes the influence of the NSDC on political process in the Ukraine during the 8 years it has been in existence, all post-Soviet years. In particular, the thesis analyzes the influence of the NSDC and of its Secretaries on the Ukrainian Government. The paper also examines the experiences of leading East- European countries and the United States in resolving issues of national security policy and how these experiences can be applied to the Ukrainian situation. Following an introductory chapter is a chapter that analyzes the experiences of Poland, Russia, and the United States in the institutionalization of their national security policies. Chapter 3 highlights the role that the NSDC assumed during the time of its first Secretary, Volodymyr Gorbulin, during the period 1994 to 1999. During this time the NSDC evolved from a structural component of the President's administration into an organization officially recognized by the Constitution. Chapter 4 analyzes the new role of the NSDC after the Presidential election of 1999, when Yevhen Marchuk was offered the position of Secretary of the NSDC in exchange for his backing of Leonid Kuchma, the new President. The final chapter presents some conclusions by the author, among them that the significance of the NSDC in the Ukranian political system is declining. This change seems to be caused primarily by the political strengthening of the President's power at the expense of other governmental entities. The decline of NSDC's influence also may be attributed to the personal relations between Secretary Marchuk and President Kuchma. (46 refs.)
Book Synopsis Ukraine, the Security Fulcrum of Europe? by : Roman Popadiuk
Download or read book Ukraine, the Security Fulcrum of Europe? written by Roman Popadiuk and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukraine's national security policy appears destined to be a balancing act between NATO and Russia, maintaining its own sovereignty while acting as a bridge and stabilizing force between East and West. Ukraine needs both political and economic development in order to be a credible and viable regional actor, able to carry out this pivotal role, and to avoid becoming drawn into the Eastern fold. NATO enlargement should be geared towards Ukraine's ability to play a bridging role. A precipitous enlargement would raise Russian concerns, thus threatening Ukraine's own security and Moscow's relations with the West to the detriment of overall European security.
Book Synopsis National Security Issues and Defense Reform in Ukraine by : Sergiy Maslovskyi
Download or read book National Security Issues and Defense Reform in Ukraine written by Sergiy Maslovskyi and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Orange Revolution, during which Ukrainians made a choice for freedom and democracy, gave a cogent answer to a fundamental question: is the Ukrainian nation able to build a modern, independent, and democratic state? Ukraine has created new opportunities for solving current problems, crafting an active foreign and domestic policy based on universal democratic values. As an important component of national development, military reforms have being initiated and aimed at the transformation of all levels of Ukraine's military organization, which includes the Armed Forces and other military formations. The main goal of this research project is to analyze the most important issues associated with the emerging Ukrainian National Security Strategy, identify possible threats and challenges for national security, and on that basis estimate the priorities for military strategy and defense reform in Ukraine. The project develops a critical view of the current domestic and international environment within which the transformation of Ukraine's Defense Sector is occurring. It attempts to specify priorities for the further development of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that will provide the capabilities needed in today's security environment, protect Ukrainian national interests, and enable Ukraine to participate in the whole spectrum of possible coalition operations.
Book Synopsis Keystone in the Arch by : Sherman W. Garnett
Download or read book Keystone in the Arch written by Sherman W. Garnett and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sherman Garnett argues that Ukraine - for reasons of size, location, diversity, historical relationships, and recent resilience - could play the role of the region's security "keystone." Tracing the country's domestic politics, steps toward economic reform, and foreign-policy decision making toward both Russia and the West, the study dispels widespread misconceptions and reveals the broad stakes in a thriving and stable Ukraine." "Garnett makes the case for a more comprehensive, post-Cold War U.S. and Western approach to both Ukraine and the region - one that looks beyond recent nuclear disarmament success and NATO expansion - and suggests the main elements of such a long-term policy."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Ukraine written by Sharon L. Wolchik and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book focuses on the challenges facing Ukraine as a newly emerged state after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Like all countries with no recent history of independence, Ukraine had to invent or recreate effective political institutions, reintroduce a market economy, and reorient its foreign policy. These tasks were impossible to accomplish without resolving the question of national identity. In this balanced and clear-eyed assessment, a team of U.S. and Ukrainian specialists explores the external and internal dimensions of national identity and statehood, providing a wealth of information previously unavailable to Western scholars. Arguing that the search for national identity is a multidimensional process, the authors show that it reflects the realities of the dawning twenty-first century. Paradoxically, this quest must cope with the both the weakening of state boundaries caused by globalization and the strengthening of the national model as new countries emerge from the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. After providing the historical context of Ukraine's international debut, the book analyzes the complexities of constructing a national identity. The authors explore questions of ethnic relations and regionalism, the development of political values and attitudes, mass-elite relations, the cultural background of economic strategies, gender issues, and the threat of organized crime to emergent civil society.
Book Synopsis The Internal Aspects of Ukrainian National Security by : Igor Bazhenov
Download or read book The Internal Aspects of Ukrainian National Security written by Igor Bazhenov and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the newly independent states which have emerged after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine occupies a crucial place. With a population of about 52 million, and an area of some 233 square miles Ukraine is considered by many to be the country that is most likely to achieve economic prosperity. Unfortunately, in spite of its resources and economic potential, Ukraine's political and economic development has lagged behind expectations. Moreover, lack of economic reform has created conditions which could undermine Ukrainian independence. Poor economic conditions, organized crime, high levels of corruption within the government, and an irresponsible parliament are the primary causes of instability in Ukraine. Resolution of these issues is vital to Ukrainian National Security as well as the continuation of Ukrainian independence.

Book Synopsis Ukraine's Military Between East and West by : Marybeth Peterson Ulrich
Download or read book Ukraine's Military Between East and West written by Marybeth Peterson Ulrich and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's new allies in Central and Eastern Europe have been struggling with defense reform since the end of the Cold War. Only recently since the Orange Revolution has Ukraine's national political and military leadership seriously engaged the process of radical and comprehensive defense reform. This monograph applies the various roadmaps for reform developed in the postcommunist states of Central European states to the emerging Ukrainian case. The author draws upon this mixed picture to suggest a framework focused on key areas in need of reform as well as key conditions that facilitate the achievement of reform objectives. The result is a richly developed monograph revealing Ukraine's main strengths as well as obstacles limiting the improvement of its military capabilities. Ukraine's interests in the East and West, along with the reality of its divided society, shape the outcomes to date and constrain the future of its Euro-Atlantic orientation.
Book Synopsis Swords and Sustenance by : Robert Legvold
Download or read book Swords and Sustenance written by Robert Legvold and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-02-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stability of the former Soviet states is threatened by their precarious geopolitical position within a turbulent economic and political environment. Swords and Sustenance explores the complex economic dimension of national security for two key post-Soviet countries, Belarus and Ukraine—that is, how they have dealt with the challenges posed by internal economic and political reform and their relationships with Russia and the West. The book first examines how differing commitments to economic and political reform (reform is largely absent in Belarus) affect Belarusian and Ukrainian approaches to security. It then considers the central role of Russia, and how Russian interests and policies toward Belarus and Ukraine limit the two countries' foreign and domestic policy choices. Two chapters discuss the national security implications for Belarus and Ukraine of two key economic factors in their foreign policy: energy trade (in the form of oil, gas, and pipelines) and military-industrial cooperation (including the sale of arms). Finally, the book considers the relationships of Belarus and Ukraine with regional and global institutions and explores the policies of the EU, NATO, and the United States toward Belarus and Ukraine.
