| Abstract [eng] |
The master's thesis provides an analysis of the legal, institutional, geopolitical, and economic aspects of Ukraine's integration into the European Union. The thesis analyzes the regulatory framework of the European integration process, challenges, and prospects, based on international agreements, EU and Ukrainian legislation, as well as the experience of other candidate countries. The research highlights the impact of geopolitical factors, in particular, Russian aggression, on Ukraine's European integration. This aggression has increased the urgency of reforms while creating significant obstacles such as economic instability and institutional weakness. Despite progress in areas such as decentralization and the fight against corruption, problems remain regarding the independence of the judiciary, governance, and implementation of EU norms. This thesis, based on a comparative analysis, identifies best practices and lessons from other candidate countries to propose effective solutions for Ukraine. These include strengthening administrative capacity, ensuring transparent governance, and promoting the creation of a legal and policy framework consistent with the EU. The paper considers such prospects for Ukraine as strengthening cooperation with the EU in security and economic matters, as well as the possibility of using financial support from the EU, in particular, the instruments of the "Green Deal." The Polish experience is used as an example to examine the possibility of applying transitional periods and special conditions for Ukraine, as well as the establishment of specialized bodies on European integration issues. Finally, the study highlights the transformative potential of EU integration for Ukraine, proposing a roadmap for achieving stability, democracy, and prosperity. |
