1. What is the ADASTRA think tank?

ADASTRA is an independent Ukrainian analytical center specializing in the study of international relations, law, economics, and communications. Our think tank explores all topics related to the international political environment, particularly those that are not widely popular among the masses but are no less important for Ukraine and the world.

2. Why did ADASTRA appear?

We are convinced that Ukrainian foreign policy should be global, especially in today's interdependent world of rapid digitalization. Relations with second-or even third-order states are no less important for Ukraine than interaction with the leading actors.

Therefore, ADASTRA also analyzes those topics that do not fall into the Ukrainian-language internet segment: space policy of the UAE, terrorism in West Africa, political situation in Brunei, African policy of Turkey, bilateral relations between Chile and Peru, energy diplomacy of Turkmenistan, etc.

3. For whom is ADASTRA useful?

Our activities are aimed at opening the prospects of global processes for Ukraine so that we can be helpful to central executive authorities, the public sector, the scientific community, private companies, international corporations, and interested citizens who want to understand how to conduct their activities in a world where Nigeria's GDP is three times larger, that one of Ukraine.
