Title A name given to the resource Post-Communist Ukraine Subject The topic of the resource Contemporary Ukraine Democracy Economic Transition History of Ukraine Independent Ukraine Post-Communism Post-Soviet Description An account of the resource The book Post-Communist Ukraine by Bohdan Harasymiw is one of the most comprehensive and penetrating studies of the political and social realities of independent Ukraine during the first 10 years of its existence. The masterfully written, multi-faceted analysis presented in this 483-page documents and explains that country’s successes and its more frequent failures during its transition from authoritarianism to democracy. Chapters include: Ukraine—On the Road to Democracy? Agreeing on the Rules of the Game President Kravchuk and the Philosophy of State Building State Building in Ukraine: The Practice of State Organization Coercive Control Nation Building Parliament and Elections Party Systems, Presidential Elections, and the Public The Economy: The Slow Road to Reform and the Fast Road to Riches National Security, Defence, and Foreign Policy From Communist Dictatorship to Pseudo-Democracy Taking a comparative approach, Bohdan Harasymiw breaks free of the usual historical-cultural mode of dealing with Ukrainian politics. Step by step, he examines the primary elements of a modern democratic state and the degree to which these are in place: an agreed-on set of rules of the game in the form of an accepted constitution; a state capable of governing and claiming the loyalty of its people; a parliament representative of the public and able to legislate; a bureaucracy skilled at fashioning and implementing public policies, and not just following orders; a nation of fellow citizens living as a community; political parties channelling the interests of, and responsive to, their followers; elections that reflect the preferences of the voters; and policies ensuring the security and well-being of both state and society. These are analyzed in the light of other countries’ experience with these institutions and processes. As a result, a comprehensive portrait of Ukraine’s politics, which can be characterized as “post-Communist” but not yet “post-Soviet,” emerges.
