Dissertation for obtaining the scientific degree of Candidate of Science (Politics) in the specialization 23.00.04 - political problems of international systems and global development. - Institute of International Relations of Taras Shevchenko's Kyiv National University. - Kyiv, 2005.

In the dissertation, there is generalized a concept of strategic partnership, citing the Ukrainian-Polish relations as an example; and there is presented the author's conception of a concept of strategic partnership on the basis of which there was considered the Ukrainian - Polish relations in the state, political, military, economic and humanitarian spheres. There were researched the origin and development of the idea of Ukrainian - Polish strategic partnership; there were analyzed main sources that had influenced upon the establishment and dynamics of the strategic partnership between Ukraine and the Republic of Poland and main obstacles arising on the way of its realization, some of which are negative stereotypes existing in the consciousness of both the societies, low financial possibilities of both Poland and Ukraine as well as a break in the tempos and resulting character of the reformation processes; there was revealed an importance of partners' relations to realize the national interests of both the countries. Strategic partnership is considered as a state internal policy special instrument with the assistance of which the country agrees its actions with other ones on the international scene. The coincidence of means and methods to apply either that instrument or strategic national interests of various states in some spheres results in special kind of international cooperation existing between them. It is intended to reach long-term goals that are essential for both of the subjects. Moreover the goal of the other subject is not less important than its own one. Those very goals are named "strategic". It is also important that such strategic goals are tried to achieve in the several spheres, and sometimes one turns into another.

There is a conclusion made that the Ukrainian - Polish relations have been under the influence of Western countries, the USA and Russia as well as internal political situation in both the countries. Having passed a range of stages, the relations between our states reached the level of strategic partnership in the second half of the 1990s. It was done due to Ukraine's stable foreign policy orientation to enter the European integration structures, approval of the process to spread the NATO to the East, loss of the nuclear status, activation two-way economic relations. At the modern stage, Ukrainian - Polish relations correspond to a majority of the strategic partnership criteria although the economic and humanitarian cooperation, interparliamentarian and interdepartmental relations need being somewhat perfected. In spite of some problems, the Republic of Poland is a paying and beneficial partner of Ukraine; the relations with that country are well grounded and worthwhile to be developed. Ukraine has to use the strategic partnership with Poland in order to smooth and level the historic asymmetry existing between it and the partner, be granted membership in the European integration structures.
