Elections and Democratization in Ukraine

Viac o knihe

Focusing on Ukraine's democratic transition from 1989 to 1998, the book examines how competitive elections shaped voter behavior and the significance of electoral cleavages. It challenges the notion that the Soviet legacy resulted in a fragmented society, instead presenting evidence of stable voting patterns among the Ukrainian electorate since the introduction of competitive elections. The analysis provides insights into the complexities of voter choice in a pivotal era for Ukraine's democracy.
