Sustainable development in Ukraine: the role of internal and external actors in the policy-making process

Nienke De Deugd

Abstract

While in theory sustainable development has been included in policy-on-paper, policy-in-practice tends to be difficult. In this context, the author discusses the role that internal and external actors have played with regard to the incorporation of sustainable development into Ukrainian national policies, and analyses the extent to which the government of Ukraine and the European Union have been able and/or willing to contribute to this process.

Keywords:
