Україна: 30 років на європейському шляху.

Презентація дослідження

24 серпня 1991р., 30 років тому прийнято Акт про проголошення незалежності України, який було підтверджено на Всеукраїнському референдумі 1 грудня 1991р. За період 30-річної історії незалежної України (1991-2021рр.) в державі відбулися кардинальні зміни в усіх без винятку сферах. Прийнятими в перші роки незалежності законодавчими актами були визначені, а у 1996р. Конституцією України — закріплені засади розбудови Української держави як демократичної, правової та соціальної. Значно розширився перелік гарантованих Конституцією держави прав і свобод громадян, передусім, політичних, принциповим досягненням стало створення реальних можливостей для їх реалізації і захисту. У країні утворилися нові інститути, такі як: приватна власність, ринкова економіка, вільне підприємництво, багатопартійність, плюралістичне громадянське суспільство, свобода слова та вільні від цензури медіа тощо.
