Overview

One of Europe's old nations steeped in history, today Ukraine is an undisputed independent state. Ukraine's postcommunist transition has been one of the most protracted and socially costly, but it has taken the country to a desirable destination: It is a democracy and has transformed into a market economy with predominant private ownership. In this clear, accessible account of Ukraine's political and economic metamorphosis, noted expert on the postcommunist transformation Anders Aslund provides a chronological guide to the evolution of a country known for its diverse regions. Aslund identifies the protagonists and leaders who have formed the country's regimes in this fast-paced drama and analyzes how constant governmental transitions have affected the electoral process and achievement of a parliamentary-based system. How Ukraine Became a Market Economy and Democracy traces the history of the Ukraine from 1991 to the present. The award-winning author presents an easy-to-read analysis that documents the country's transformation and assesses the ultimate repercussions of this gradual political rebirth on Ukraine's governmental and societal architecture.
