The aim of the monograph is to present Ukrainian history, law, and cultural heritage from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The Authors of texts (chapters of the monograph) can take up these topics using any research method (such as analytical, hermeneutic, historical, comparative, etc.).
The texts may take the form of theoretical analyses as well as practical and empirical case-studies.

β’ Ukrainian cultural heritage and values
β’ The legislative, executive, and judicial powers in Ukraine
β’ History of Ukrainian statehood
β’ Problems of modern Ukrainian law
β’ History and functioning of the Ukrainian economy (e.g., based on selected institutional and empirical examples)
The above-mentioned thematic areas are merely examples. We strongly encourage you to go beyond their scope. Moreover, the texts of the chapters may be of an interdisciplinary nature, combining various fields of research.
We believe in the freedom of academic discussion, and we do not censor any works.
Therefore, we encourage the Authors to take up controversial topics and present their own positions. Original and extraordinary texts (chapters) will always be appreciated by the book’s Editors.
πππ πππ ππππππ?
We invite all students, Ph.D. candidates, and experienced researchers interested in Ukrainian law, politics, culture, and history to submit texts (chapters) for publication.
