The political and economic vector of Ukraine’s development has changed many times over the years

of independence. Contrary to rational economic institutional transformations, the society faced the

slowdown of social progress and slogans of populism. Furthermore, the desire to get high results without

making signicant eorts tended only to sow chaos, confusion and dissatisfaction among the population.

The paper presents the author’s vision of the further development and formation of the Ukrainian

state, the patterns in which external and internal factors can inuence these processes. The article also

analysed a number of features inherent in modern-day Ukraine.

Introduction

Every day Ukraine faces new political, economic, educational, social and cultural

challenges before every new state. The accelerated development pace of the modern civilised

world forces to react immediately to all circumstances, both internal and external, thereby

shaping the national doctrine for decades.

The great dierences in world inequality are evident to everyone, even to those in poor

countries, though many lack access to television or the Internet [Acemoglu & Robinson,

2012]. They are the result of a deliberate or unconscious choice of states, each of which faces

the consequences of their own expressions of will and political steps. In the globalised world

of the beginning of the third millennium, there is no rational justication for the backwardness

of countries. One can surely state that as there is no country that has steadily moved through

its institutional formation.
