  • POLAND-UKRAINE RELATIONS Andrzej Szeptycki
    Revista UNISCI / UNISCI Journal, Nº 40 (Enero / January 2016) POLAND-UKRAINE RELATIONS Andrzej Szeptycki 1 University of Warsaw Abstract: Poland and Ukraine are the two biggest and most populated countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Because of their size, neighbourhood and position in the region the two countries have often been compared to France and Germany. Both countries are deeply interested in their mutual cooperation. Such situation steams from five factors: direct neighbourhood, common (albeit difficult) history, attractiveness of the Polish labour market for the Ukrainians, membership of Poland in the Western structures, and last but not least, the Russian threat. Despite complimentary interests, both countries have difficulty to effectively develop their mutual relations and turn them into a real "strategic partnership". These problems are due to the internal political and economic situation in Ukraine, limits imposed by the membership of Poland in the EU, Russian policy aiming at keeping Ukraine within its zone of influence and, finally, the EU reluctance to effectively engage in Ukraine. Keywords: Poland, Ukraine, political relations, economic relations, social relations, NATO, European Union. Resumen: Polonia y Ucrania son los estados más grandes y más poblados de Europa Central y Oriental. Dado su tamaño, su vecindad y su situación en la región, los dos estados frecuentemente han sido comparados a Francia y Alemania. Ambos estados están profundamente interesados en la cooperación mutua. Esta situación deriva de cinco factores: vecindad geográfica, historia común- aunque difícil-, atracción del mercado de trabajo en Polonia para los ucranianos y la amenaza rusa. A pesar de tener intereses complementarios tienen dificultades en el desarrollo de forma efectiva de sus relaciones mutuas para llegar a conseguir una asociación estratégica real.

Labinska, Phd of Geographical Sciences Lviv Ivan Franko National University, Ukraine, Lviv The analysis of the specificity and assessment of the consequences of the migration processes "Ukraine - Poland" the article was devoted. The relevance of the topic is revealed due to the emphasis on the needs of the global labor market, which caused massive displacement of people - migration tsunami and exacerbated the problem of deportation of both countries in the near future. The analysis is based on the use of Eurostat and other official sources. The progress of negative demographic tendencies in Ukraine, which differ on the background of similar processes in Poland was revealed. The emphasis is on positive results of the demographic policy of the Polish government, which takes into account the significant contribution of Ukrainian workers. This eventually ensured a stable economic development of the country. At the same time, the outflow of highly educated specialists from Ukraine has led to a weakening of its economy. The outflow of Ukrainian students weakened the education system of Ukraine, contributing to the strengthening of the education system in Poland. The improvement of this situation in Ukraine is in implementation of a system of economic measures that would contribute to Paradigm of Knowledge № 3(35), 2019 the settlement of Ukraine-Poland migration flows on a mutually beneficial basis for both countries.
