Strategy XXI Centre for Global Studies

The Strategy XXI Centre for Global Studies is a Ukrainian non-governmental, non-profit civil-society organisation and policy research centre. It brings together individuals on a voluntary basis to pursue shared research, social, and economic interests, with a particular concentration on energy and international security. The centre’s work examines developments in the energy sector, national and international energy policy, energy security, and Ukraine’s position within regional and European energy systems. Its geographical perspective extends beyond Ukraine to the Black Sea, Caspian, and Baltic regions, Central Asia, and the European Union. The centre has addressed Ukraine’s relations with states and international organisations in these areas, as well as the country’s role as an energy-transit state. Its research and advisory activity also covers communications infrastructure, transportation, extraction, mining, strategic energy resources, and projects involving international cooperation or investment. In addition to producing analysis, the organisation provides independent expertise and seeks to support public authorities, non-governmental organisations, researchers, and other institutions working on related policy questions. Over time, Strategy XXI has placed increased emphasis on energy efficiency, energy conservation, sustainable energy-sector development, and the alignment of Ukrainian energy policy with European Union acquis and governance standards. This agenda connects technical and economic questions—such as market design, infrastructure, and resource management—with transparency, institutional capacity, and national security. The centre has participated in Ukrainian energy-policy discussions and is identified with contributions to the development of Ukraine’s Energy Strategy through 2035, as well as work concerning draft legislation on gas markets, electricity markets, the national energy regulator, and transparent gas-market operation. It has also participated in multi-stakeholder initiatives associated with implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative in Ukraine and was connected with the Revenue Watch Institute’s network addressing energy-market transparency in Eurasia. Since 2016, the centre has implemented a project intended to share energy-efficiency experience from the Visegrád Group countries with Ukraine. Its public output has included policy reports and analytical articles on conventional and renewable energy governance, energy security, diversification, efficiency, and strategic planning. The available reference material does not establish a precise founding year, ownership structure, leadership roster, revenue figures, or a detailed account of current programmes; those fields are therefore left unreported rather than inferred.

Strategy XXI Centre for Global Studies is a Ukrainian non-governmental and non-profit civil-society organisation whose public role is centred on research and policy analysis. The available reference material does not specify its exact date of establishment or identify individual founders. It describes the centre as a voluntary association of citizens formed to advance and protect shared research, social, and economic interests. The organisation’s original and continuing area of specialisation is the energy sector. Its work has covered energy development, national energy policy, international energy security, and Ukraine’s relationships with countries and institutions in the Black Sea, Caspian, Baltic, and Central Asian regions and in the European Union. A recurring theme is Ukraine’s potential and vulnerabilities as a transit country, including the strategic importance of energy communications, transportation routes, resource extraction, and cross-border infrastructure. Strategy XXI has also offered independent assessments of energy, mining, extraction, communication, and transportation projects. Its intended users include government bodies, non-governmental organisations, researchers, and other institutions seeking analysis or practical recommendations. The centre’s activities therefore combine think-tank research with expert support and policy advocacy rather than commercial consumer products. In a later phase, its agenda expanded or became more explicitly focused on energy efficiency, energy saving, sustainable energy development, and the adaptation of Ukrainian energy governance to European Union acquis. This work placed greater weight on market transparency, institutional reform, diversification, and the relationship between energy policy and national security. The centre participated in Ukraine’s multi-stakeholder process connected to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and was part of the Revenue Watch Institute network concerned with energy-market transparency in Eurasia. The centre is credited in the available material with contributing to the preparation of Ukraine’s Energy Strategy through 2035. It also worked on issues reflected in draft laws concerning gas and electricity markets, the national energy regulator, and principles for transparent gas-market operation. From 2016, it implemented a cooperation project intended to bring energy-efficiency experience from the Visegrád Group to Ukraine. Its published work has included policy reports and articles addressing conventional and renewable energy governance, energy security, diversification, energy efficiency, and strategic energy planning. The public references supplied for this dossier do not provide reliable information on the organisation’s internal governance, executive staff, budget, legal registration details, or current programme portfolio. Those facts remain unfilled.
