Book presentation: Exploring Ukrainian Politics: Institutions, Actors and Policy Areas, edited by Michael Dobbins and Eduard Klein.
What makes Ukrainian politics distinctive, and how can Ukraine’s current political trajectory be understood beyond the dominant geopolitical narratives surrounding the country? Exploring Ukrainian Politics: Institutions, Actors, and Policy Areas addresses these questions by examining Ukraine’s political institutions, parties, elections, civil society, identity, European integration, and key policy areas against the background of its complex history. The book traces the country’s difficult path from post-Soviet transformation toward democracy and European integration, highlighting both persistent institutional challenges and the remarkable resilience of Ukrainian society. It also explores how Russia’s ongoing war has reshaped Ukraine’s political system and the conditions under which democratic reforms are pursued. Ultimately, the volume presents Ukraine not simply as an object of great-power politics, but as an independent political actor with its own history, institutions, societal dynamics, and aspirations.
The event is organized by the Master of Arts in International Relations and Diplomacy program and the Turpanjian Institute of Social Sciences. It will take place on November 11 at 2:00 p.m. in the Akian Art Gallery, PAB. We look forward to seeing you there!
