Summary:

This textbook, written by respected experts on social science and political science research concerning Eastern Europe, offers a comprehensive overview of the political history of and contemporary domestic politics in Ukraine. The authors analyze the tense relationship between (re)democratization and (re)authoritarization, as well as the driving forces behind the remarkable political and economic advances made since the 2014 Euromaidan revolution. The book offers essential insights into the interplay between political institutions and parties, civil society and political elites, and various territorial and economic interest groups in the course of Ukraine's post-communist transformation and European integration process. The individual chapters address specific research questions and systematically engage with theories, concepts and paradigms from political science and policy analysis.
