Abstract

Over the last few years, intergovernmental affairs and the roles of individual countries within the West have started to shift. In response, Kyiv (Kiev) should reorder the priorities and emphases of its foreign political, economic, and cultural policies. The central focus of this re‐orientation should be more resolute than the hitherto deepening of Ukrainian relations has been, not only with the German government but also with the broader political elite, industrial companies, and the civil society of the Federal Republic. A recent systematic study of German perceptions of Ukraine can help develop new approaches, initiatives, and policies to reach a new level of German–Ukrainian partnership. En los últimos años, los asuntos intergubernamentales y los roles de los países individuales dentro de Occidente han comenzado a cambiar. En respuesta, Kyiv debería reordenar las prioridades y los énfasis de sus políticas exteriores, políticas, económicas y culturales. El enfoque central de esta reorientación debería ser más resuelto que hasta ahora la profundización de las relaciones ucranianas no solo con el gobierno alemán, sino también con la élite política más amplia, las empresas industriales y la sociedad civil de la República Federal. Un estudio sistemático reciente de las percepciones alemanas de Ucrania puede ayudar a desarrollar nuevos enfoques, iniciativas y políticas para alcanzar un nuevo nivel de asociación germano‐ucraniana. 过去几年, 政府间事务和个别西方国家所发挥的作用已开始发生转变。作为回应, 基辅方面应重新布置其外交政治政策、经济政策和文化政策的优先事项和重点工作。比起乌克兰迄今为止不仅与德国政府, 还与德意志联邦共和国内更广的政治精英、工业公司、以及公民社会深化关系, 该重定向工作的核心焦点应更为坚决。近期一项关于德国人对乌克兰观感的系统性研究能帮助发展新措施、倡议和政策, 以期达到德国‐乌克兰伙伴关系的新高度。
