On the 25th of July 2011, HCSS will present two policy papers, entitled “The Future of Ukraine” and “The Future of the EU”, as part of a project by Institute World Policy and The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies. The project was made available by the International Renaissance Foundation.
Within the project “Enhancing Ukraine’s Foresight Capacity” Ukrainian researchers contributed in ten major analytical reports. Amongst them are “Cybersecurity”, “Demographic shifts”, “The Future Nature of Conflict”, “The Future of the Indian Ocean” and others. Our experts covered sources in Russian and Ukrainian languages to prepare wide foresight analysis. Thus, IWP was the regional centre of the global project. These studies (full English version and short Ukrainian reports) can be found at iwp.org.ua/eng/.
The project of the Institute of World Policy and the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, supported by the International Renaissance Foundation, was aimed at deepening cooperation between Ukrainian and Western European think-tanks. Researchers at IWP could learn how to do foresight studies based on the methodology developed by the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies. Developing this kind of analytical reports provides an opportunity to create fact-based, overwhelming decisions by the authorities, NGOs, think-tanks. These studies will be especially useful to those working on strategies in security and foreign policy issues.
