Dear Colleague,

In the run up to Sunday's presidential elections in Ukraine, Orysia Lutsevych outlines the three priorities that any winner will have to tackle.

Professor Andrew Dorman writes in International Affairs on the defence and security implications of the Scottish vote on independence, arguing that it will have major consequences for both Scotland and the United Kingdom, whatever the outcome.

Also published this week, the final report from Chatham House's Working Group on Health Governance offers recommendations for serious reform of the World Health Organization.

Finally, Chatham House has released background papers for the inaugral London Conference on Globalization and World Order, held on 3 June at Lancaster House.

Orysia Lutsevych calls for 'a nation-wide debate about democracy across Ukraine' following Sunday's presidential elections. She emphasizes that the winner will also have to take steps to assure Ukraine's territorial integrity and begin economic reforms to encourage investment.
