Transformation of the Maritime doctrine of Ukraine: conceptual bases
Journal Title: Lex portus - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 5
Abstract
Ukraine is a traditional maritime nation, which has a strong port, shipbuilding, human potential involved in the maritime industry. Ukraine seeks to form its own maritime policy and to define the prospects for its development, taking into account current and expected influence factors and possible risks. At the same time, the basic program document in this area – the Maritime Doctrine of Ukraine – has been adopted back in 2009 and currently it does not meet the challenges and threats, which Ukrainian nation has been encountering for the last five years. Thus, the Maritime Doctrine of Ukraine requires the essential updating in a timely manner to be aligned with realities of the current situation. Referring to the analysis of marine program documents of Ukraine and foreign states, the author categorizes them and notes that such documents usually cover three aspects of maritime activity: the development and use of naval forces (Great Britain, USA, India); non-military aspects of maritime safety (France); a comprehensive regulation of the protection of national interests in the marine sector (Ukraine, Russia, Indonesia). The research is based on combination of foreign experience and deep analyses of the situation in the Ukrainian marine industry which includes: temporal occupation of certain water and land territories, requirements of the Association Agreement with the EU, the need to harmonize the provisions of the Maritime Doctrine of Ukraine with a number of other, more recent, program documents adopted by Ukraine. The author stipulates that Ukraine Maritime doctrine should be primary considered, as a document that coordinates all aspects of public administration in the field of maritime activity, that in clear language formulate well-balanced and realistic objectives in this area. Such approaches should provide the basis for the development of a powerful maritime industry and finally restored the centuries-old renowned maritime tradition.
