Ukraines Decentralization Challenges and Implications of the Local Governance Reform after the Euromaidan Revolution
English
By (author): Andreas Umland
After Ukraines 201314 Revolution of Dignity, much Western attention to Ukrainian domestic policies has been focused on the countrys Europeanization in the narrow and technical sense of the word, i.e. to its adoption of EU standards and legislation. In contrast, a parallel major transformation with no direct relation to Ukraines EU association and accessiona multidimensional local governance and territorial reformhas been receiving less journalistic and scholarly coverage. That is in spite of the fact that the gradual decentralization process that Ukraines first post-Euromaidan government started in April 2014 is an exceptionally far-ranging and already advanced transition. It redefines not only Ukrainian center-periphery interactions, but also state-society as well as government-citizen relations. This collected volume is one of the first of its kind and presents eleven narrowly focused research papers by Oleksandra Deineko, Melanie Mierzejewski-Voznyak, Maryna Rabinovych, Aadne Aasland, Max Bader, Igor Dunayev, Yuriy Palekha, Oleksii Sydorchuk, and the editors. The chapters illustrate specific problems as well as repercussions of Ukraines ongoing local governance reform ranging from fiscal governance to party politics as well as wartime challenges.
