SOCIAL CAPITAL – 25: ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE OR ITS DEVELOPMENT?

For 25 years since the proclamation of the state sovereignty by Ukraine, our society was always oriented to the necessity and the possibility of changes, by preserving, in this case, the optimistic hopes for the future. But far from all hopes were realized. In our opinion, the development in the “society – state – economy” triad depends now on the social capital and on its ability to put the state and its economy on the trajectory of growth. The success will depend on the strategic vision of future problems and contra-dictions. In the lacking of such vision, we shall remain among the underdeveloped coun-tries of the world.
One more crucial challenge for Ukraine consists in that the state should not allow it-self to be lost in the quite egocentric world. For this purpose, we need the intense work of scientists, namely, the studies, analysis, and development of a strategic approach. It is necessary to construct such society structure system, whose development will be unam-biguously finished by appropriate reforms, just on the innovative basis, in the sphere of public administration and in the economy on the whole.
Based on the well-known thesis asserting that the national interests of the own country are of the highest importance, we invite all authors who are anxious for Ukraine’s future to take participation in the discussion. We consider that the accent should be shifted to the side of a concentration of the attention of the society, state, and business on the solution of the tasks of a technological and economic development of the country on the principles of an increase in the role of a human capital and on the use of its potentialities with the orientation to competitive advantages and the realization of national interests in the context of the mutually beneficial collaboration in the frame of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement
