Abstract

Ukraine's complex history has led to the emergence of different interest groups and political parties in the eastern and western regions of the state. Meanwhile, although Ukraine has been attempting to complete its social transformation since the collapse of the Soviet Union, it has been under the influence of political groups with different preferences that have frequently changed the constitution and political system, making it difficult to find a suitable model of governance for Ukraine's development. In addition to this, the majority of political parties in Ukraine do not represent the interests of Ukrainian citizens due to the intervention of the oligarchy, which has left the state in a permanent position of political alternation and corruption. These problems have led Ukraine into extremely severe social disorder and economic depression. Method of literature review is applied in this paper to explore Ukraine's diplomatic policy, source of materials include the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, official materials published by the World Trade Organization, and research by national scholars on topics related to Ukraine. The combination of the decline in the state's economy and the chaos of domestic politics since independence has led to a loss of confidence in the state's development while fueling the desire of some citizens to support the growth of the state's economy with assistance from Russia and the European Union. Apart from these domestic factors, Russia, the European Union and the United States have turned Ukraine into the centre of a geopolitical competition in order to maintain their own security. In this context of internal and external concerns, Ukraine has made different diplomatic choices, which have had different effects on Ukraine. This paper analyses the impact of Ukraine's unstable political situation and chaotic diplomatic policy on Ukraine by analysing cases of domestic and diplomatic policy shifts in the context of Ukraine's accession to the WTO and the Ukraine crisis.
