Description
The essays of this collected volume analyze Ukrainian political development crises as components of a larger modernization crisis syndrome. In particular, the papers deal with crises of identity, legitimacy, penetration, distribution, and participation as well as with their interaction with each other. This approach provides a deeper understanding of the nature of political crises in Ukraine and their impact on democratization. The neo-institutional approach underlying this study allows for an examination of political development crises as systemic and permanent phenomena. The authors identify causes of each type of political development crisis, characterize their specific features in Ukraine, and forecast their further evolution. Readers thereby gain an analytical toolkit for assessing crisis phenomena and potential ways to mitigate them. The volume's contributors are Rostyslav Balaban, Svitlana Brekharya, Leonid Kiyanitsa, Nataliia Kononeko, Tetyana Lyashenko, Vitaliy Pereveziy, Oleg Rafalskiy, Svitlana Sytnyk and Galyna Zelenko.
