Ukraine’s Quest for Mature Nation Statehood Roundtable Series

Ukraine’s Quest for Mature Nation Statehood Roundtable Series began when a number of Ukrainian and American public and private institutions convened in April of 2000 to consider ways to increase the level of dialogue/cooperation between the U.S. and Ukraine.

These deliberations gave rise to a commitment: to convene an annual conference that would bring together prominent representatives from academia, the private sector, and the governments of Ukraine and the United States to first stimulate and then monitor Ukraine’s progress toward stronger bilateral relations with the United States.

Eventually, the forum series came to expand its focus by looking into the additional possibility of Ukraine’s integration into the Euro-Atlantic community as a whole (stronger bilateral relations with Canada; EU membership; NATO membership)

Twenty-four events, organized as trilogies designed to study the overarching issues that Ukraine’s ‘Euro-Atlantic quest’ might encounter, have now been held, including three special gatherings (2011-2013) run specifically to address situational matters facing Ukraine (under the Yanukovych regime) before a return to the original process was made.

The following distinguished individuals have graced the UA Quest RT Series with presentations:
