Understanding Ukrainian Politics Power, Politics, and Institutional Design

This introduction to Ukranian politics looks beyond these dramatic events and compelling personalities to identify the actual play of power in Ukraine and the operation of its political system. The author seeks to explain how it is that, after each new beginning, power politics has trumped democratic institution-building in Ukraine, as in so many other post-Soviet states. What is really at work here, and how can Ukraine break the cycle of hope and disillusionment?D'Anieri, Paul is the author of 'Understanding Ukrainian Politics Power, Politics, and Institutional Design', published 2006 under ISBN 9780765618122 and ISBN 0765618125.
