The journal founder aimed to create an internationally visible platform for discussing Ukrainian political development, European and non-European postsocialist societies, and the most significant short-term and long-term global risks. To involve Ukrainian and international researchers, the journal aims to stimulate discourse through the publication of cutting-edge research in the areas of Ukrainian policy, international experience in public administration, international cooperation and development, security studies, and world history. On the one hand, the Ukrainian political situation is a reflection of the specific social and cultural landscape; on the other hand, the international experience in qualitative transforming all institutional spheres of society has high potential for Ukraine.
