Abstracts

EN

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.

O ile z teoretycznego punktu widzenia zrównoważony rozwój został ujęty w dokumentach politycznych, o tyle w praktyce same działania polityczne wydają się sprawiać pewne trudności. W tym kontekście autor omawia znaczenie wewnętrznych oraz zewnętrznych podmiotów w odniesieniu do wdrażania zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju do ukraińskiej polityki krajowej, a także analizuje, do jakiego stopnia rząd Ukrainy oraz Unia Europejska są w stanie oraz w gotowości do wspierania tego procesu.
