• Ukraine and the World in the Integration Flows

  The article addresses factors determining Ukrainian foreign policy, first of all its relationships with Russia. The author emphasizes the fact that Ukraine can easily fit into the geostrategic triangle Russia – European Union – USA. Besides, it is necessary to take into account the inner differentiation of the elements of this structure meaning influential political forces and blocks having different political preferences. A. Gutsul also reviewed the level of Ukrainian involvement into the world and regional integration processes, the correlation between rational and irrational factors in the Ukrainian politics. He states that the research of integration processes practically does not cover possible negative consequences of the civilizational reformatization which the society will have to fulfill according to Brussels instructions (if it comes to the full scale accession to the European Union.)
