Abstract
This article focuses on challenges and successes of the implementation
and application of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement,
which triggered unprecedented political, economic and legal reforms in
Ukraine. This article focuses on the constitutional challenges that have
arisen for Ukraine in the course of implementing the Association Agreement
into its legal system. Two issues form the core of the paper. The first issue
is effective implementation and application of the Association Agreement
within the Ukrainian legal order. The second issue is compatibility between
the Association Agreement and the Ukrainian Constitution. The latest political
and legal developments in Ukraine are analyzed through the prism
of effective implementation of the Association Agreement and the rise of
pro-European judicial activism in Ukraine. In conclusion it is argued that
the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement enhanced the adaptability of the
national constitutional order to the European integration project and European
common values.
