Download or read book Ukraine s Half hearted Reforms written by Arkady Moshes and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive internal reforms, along with security cooperation, are a key pillar of West-Ukraine interaction. Thus far, however, the Western effort has not sufficed to overcome the resistance of the local elites and make the reforms irreversible. Western support – or even leadership – is once again becoming crucial in keeping Ukraine on the reform track. Ongoing domestic developments seriously challenge Zelensky’s administration, creating a window of opportunity for a more successful application of reform conditionality. In turn, a new US administration may be much more capable of using this emerging opportunity than its predecessor. If they are to promote reforms more efficiently, Western actors should go beyond the technocratic approach and recognize their own “ownership” of the process. Progress with reforms requires direct and high-level political engagement to enforce the implementation of agreements and to empower pro-reform forces inside the country.

Download or read book The Politics of the Pandemic in Eastern Europe and Eurasia written by Margarita Zavadskaya and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the political impact of the COVID-19 emergency in central and eastern Europe and Eurasia. Offering a theoretical framework linking the authoritarian, post-Soviet institutional legacy with patterns of political behavior, support and governments’ policies, the expert contributors argue that domestic political regimes mediate and shape citizens’ perceptions of public health crises, and the very regimes’ political survival. The authors explore how the pandemic affected regime change, government stability, business groups and civil societies in more than 15 countries of the region from the discovery of the virus to the vaccination rollout. The studies rely on a broad range of empirical evidence from the region – survey, state statistics, ethnography and interviews. Formulating, explaining and empirically testing the causal mechanisms that drive political accountability and support through a cross-country comparison and in-depth case studies of popular and electoral support attempting to highlight any patterns specific to the region, this book contributes to studies of governance and political accountability in low-trust countries with authoritarian legacies and proclivities. Drawing on an interdisciplinary approach that brings together area studies, history, sociology and political science, it will also be of value to those interested in systematic effect of political regimes on handling public health crises.
Download or read book The Moulding of Ukraine written by Kataryna Wolczuk and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a number of new states were created that had little or no claim to any previous existence. Ukraine is one of the countries that faced not only political, social and economic transformation, but also state formation and the redefinition of national identity. This book uses Ukraine as a case study in trying to trace the key moments of decision making in the course of creating a new state while shedding the legacies of "Soviet-type" statehood. The Moulding of Ukraine offers a systematic examination of competing ideological visions of statehood and discusses them against the backdrop of historical traditions in Ukraine. This well-documented and lucidly written book is the only coherent account available in English of the process of constitutional reform, offering an insight into post-Soviet Ukrainian politics. A useful addition to university course reading lists in Ukrainian studies, post-Soviet studies, post-communist democratization, comparative constitutionalism, state-building and institutional design.

Download or read book Decentralization Regional Diversity and Conflict written by Hanna Shelest and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume focuses on the links between the ongoing crisis in and around Ukraine, regional diversity, and the reform of decentralization. It provides in-depth insights into the historical constitution of regional diversity and the evolution of center-periphery relationships in Ukraine, the legal qualification of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, and the role of the decentralization reform in promoting conflict resolution, as well as modernization, democratization and European integration of Ukraine. Particular emphasis lies on the securitization of both regional diversity issues and territorial self-government arrangements in terms of Russia’s support for self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. The volume captures the complexity of contemporary “hybrid” conflicts, involving both internal and external aspects, and the hybridization and securitization of territorial self-governance solutions. It thus provides an important contribution to the debate on territorial self-government and conflict resolution.

Download or read book Ukraine and Russia written by Paul D'Anieri and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fully revised and updated in-depth analysis of the war in Ukraine, Paul D'Anieri explores the dynamics within Ukraine, between Ukraine and Russia, and between Russia and the West that emerged with the collapse of the Soviet Union and eventually resulted in Russia's invasion in 2022. Proceeding chronologically, this book shows how Ukraine's separation from Russia in 1991, at the time called a 'civilized divorce,' led to Europe's most violent conflict since WWII. It argues the conflict came about because of three underlying factors-the security dilemma, the impact of democratization on geopolitics, and the incompatible goals of a post-Cold War Europe. Rather than a peaceful situation that was squandered, D'Anieri argues that these were deep-seated pre-existing disagreements that could not be bridged, with concerning implications for the prospects of resolution of the Ukraine conflict.

This book was released on 2022-10-30 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collective monograph is devoted to the study of trends in the development of modern Ukrainian legal society. The research uses an interdisciplinary approach, which allows analyzing and characterizing various aspects, aspects and approaches to the development of socio-legal processes in Ukraine and obtaining socially significant scientific results. Leading scientists Tamila Mangora and Maryna Lukiyanova emphasize that the Ukrainian legislation, which is aimed at settling the issue of resolving labor disputes in court, needs improvement. However, in order to solve urgent problems in the specified area, studies devoted to the consideration of foreign experience in resolving labor disputes in court are of particular relevance. This is explained primarily by the fact that in many countries of Europe and the world, specialized labor courts have been operating for a long time, which play a leading role in the resolution of individual and collective labor disputes, while at the same time ensuring maximum consideration of the interests of participants in labor relations. In their research work, Olga Durach and Yuriy Damianchuk pay attention to the organization of the work of courts during martial law, emphasize the implementation of the definition of the basic principles of the organization of the judicial power of Ukraine. They reveal the peculiarities and problematic issues of the administration of justice during martial law, consider the administrative and legal principles of corruption prevention, offer ways to solve such issues and ensure the right to a fair trial during the administration of justice during martial law. Taisa Tomlyak examines the legal positions of the European Court of Human Rights. Explores the broad understanding in the practice of the Court of "society's interests" in the application of measures of deprivation of the right to property and at the same time ensuring a proportional relationship between the goal set and the means used. The author analyzed the current civil legislation and judicial practice of the Civil Court of Cassation, the Commercial Court of Cassation of the Supreme Court and the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court regarding certain categories of credit disputes and land cases, including the resolution of jurisdictional problems in the consideration of land disputes. In her chapter, Natalya Chernyshchuk states the fact that the growth of the role of a lawyer in modern society is objectively due to the complication of social infrastructure (democratization of social relations, liberalization of economic life, growth of private initiative), the development of the legal status of the individual, the expansion of individual rights and freedoms. The role of various forms of social and legal regulation is growing, which leads to the emergence of specific social mediators in relations between people and their groups, as well as the state. In his chapter, Oleksandr Pogulyayev considered the legal approaches of the political forces of the Right Bank ethnic minorities in solving the issue of international relations during the years of struggle for Ukrainian statehood, the influence of foreign policy factors on the formation of national demands of political parties and public organizations. Andrii Dzevelyuk, based on the study of the life path of M.Yu. Chizhov, considers his formation as a lawyer and a political scientist in an interconnected context. Analyzes his conclusions that a lawyer should study not only the forms in which law is made available to us, not only the forms in which it becomes mandatory, but also the awareness of law as one of the social phenomena, as a product of various social factors that act under the influence of certain laws. The section prepared by Vitaly Kaidashov is dedicated to solving the problem of the legal basis of the safety of the quality of agricultural products. The author emphasizes that despite the high degree of importance of the problem under investigation, the current legislation of Ukraine on the safety and quality of agricultural productsisimperfect, contains many gapsin the legal regulation of the specified issues. Authors Andriy and Maryna Pravdyuk in the context of various aspects consider and give their practical characteristics to the constitutional obligations of citizens to pay taxes in Ukraine and the European Union. In the research of Iryna Skichko, the legal prerequisites for the formation of modern vectors of French foreign policy are clearly observed. At the same time, the approach of temporal differentiation and subject analysis was used, which was carried out in accordance with the periods of the reign of French presidents and in relation to the key geopolitical directions of foreign policy - European, Atlantic, Middle Eastern, African. The content of the collective monograph corresponds to the research direction of the Department of Law of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University "Legal protection of human rights and freedoms in the conditions of European integration". The monograph uses legal, social and legislative research methods.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by Anatoliy Kinakh, Prime Minister ofUkraine After a deep and long-lasting recession, the Ukrainian economy has for the past two years demonstrated some very positive dynamics in its quantitative development indicators. This is essentially the result of reforms, which still require to be consolidated in order to engage the factors and mechanisms capable of ensuring long-term qualitative and sustainable development in our economy. How do we ensure sustainable growth, and realise the improvements in the main macroeconomic indicators together with serious and complex improvements at the micro-level, which would allow us to achieve the urgently needed shifts in the social sphere? These actual problems are the main priorities of macroeconomic policy. Furthermore, the search for solutions to these problems of our transitional economy requires profound scientific analysis. The following presentations made at the Conference on "Factors of Economic Growth in Ukraine" are serious scientific contributions by prominent economists in this field.
Download or read book Europe since 1989 written by Philipp Ther and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning history of the transformation of Europe between 1989 and today In this award-winning book, Philipp Ther provides the first comprehensive history of post-1989 Europe, offering a sweeping narrative filled with vivid details and memorable stories. Europe since 1989 shows how liberalization, deregulation, and privatization had catastrophic effects on former Soviet Bloc countries. Ther refutes the idea that this economic “shock therapy” was the basis of later growth, arguing that human capital and the “transformation from below” determined economic success or failure. He also shows how the capitalist West’s effort to reshape Eastern Europe in its own likeness ended up reshaping Western Europe, especially Germany. Bringing the story up to the present, Ther compares Eastern and Southern Europe after the 2008–9 global financial crisis. A compelling account of how the new order of Europe was wrought from the chaotic aftermath of the Cold War, Europe since 1989 is essential reading for understanding post-Brexit Europe and the present dangers for democracy and the European Union.
Download or read book The European Union and its Eastern Neighbours written by Elena Korosteleva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the EU’s relations with its eastern neighbours. Based on extensive original research – including surveys, focus-groups, a study of school essays and in-depth interviews with key people in Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Russia and in Brussels – it assesses why the EU’s initiatives have received limited legitimacy in the neighbourhood. The European Neighbourhood Policy of 2004, and the subsequent Eastern Partnership of 2009 heralded a new form of relations with the EU’s neighbours – partnership based on joint ownership and shared values – which would complement if not entirely replace the EU’s traditional governance framework used for enlargement. These initiatives have, however, received a mixed response from the EU’s eastern neighbours. The book shows how the key elements of partnership have been forged mainly by the EU, rather than jointly, and examines the idea and application of external governance, and how this has been over-prescriptive and confusing.
