«Ukraine’s Soft Power in the Region: The tool for effective foreign policy»

The Institute of World Policy presents the policy paper “Ukraine’s Soft Power in the Region: The tool for effective foreign policy”. The policy paper was produced by the Institute of World Policy as part of its project implemented under Ukraine National Initiatives to Enhance Reforms (UNITER) program which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Pact Inc.

The Institute of World Policy is the first Ukrainian think tank to implement a comprehensive project examining the soft power of a regional rather than a global power, Ukraine. The Institute of World Policy has assessed the potential of Ukraine’s soft power in six countries in the region: Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Poland, Romania and Russia. The Institute of World Policy has calculated the index of Ukraine’s “soft power” in the region, based on a ten-point scale and an arithmetical mean of aggregated ratings that the surveyed experts provided. So far, Ukraine’s soft power is the strongest in Moldova (6.3 points) and the weakest in Romania (2.88 points). Ukraine’s soft power index is 5.33 points in Georgia, 4.59 in Belarus, 3.5 points in Russia and 4 points in Poland.

The Institute of World Policy has presented a series of practical recommendations for the Ukrainian government aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s soft power in all countries in the region.
