Institute of International Relations

Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv

The Institute of International Relations is the flagship educational institution in Ukraine offering training in international relations, international law, international economic relations, international business, international communications and international regional studies. It combines scientific research with cutting-edge innovative educational technologies and the unique teaching expertise of our highly professional teaching staff to satisfy students’ thirst for knowledge.

The Chair of Comparative and European Law is part of the Institute of International Relations. The Chair of Comparative and European Law (CCEL) was founded July 1, 2003 as a result of the reorganization of the Chair of Comparative Law that had been functioning at the Institute since 1992. (Heads of the Chair were Professors Petro F. Martynenko, Volodymyr K. Zabihaylo).

The teaching of courses and participation in the international academic programmes was provided by the research and academic staff of two chairs - international law and comparative law. That created some inconveniences regarding the coordination of the training -methodical and educational-organizational work. In this regard, and in view of the objective needs to continue the educational and professional training of specialists in the field of "European law", the Chair of Comparative Law was reorganized and renamed as the Chair of Comparative and European Law.

This department is a UACES group member through our collaboration with USAID Justice for All Activity.

The USAID Justice for All Activity (J4A) in collaboration with the University Association for Contemporary European Studies is supporting Ukrainian law schools in their efforts to improve the teaching of EU law to help raise new generations of Ukrainian legal professionals with solid understanding of and skills to apply EU law to advance Ukraine’s integration into the EU. To this end, J4A supports Ukrainian law schools in building bridges with foreign law schools with expertise in EU law for international experience exchange and collaboration. J4A also facilitates the development of a network/community of practice composed of Ukrainian instructors of EU law and seeks to create learning and development opportunities for Ukrainian law schools and their faculty and channel them through such a network/community of practice for greater engagement, closer people-to-people contacts, and continuous improvement.
