The Key Political-Economy Challenges Since Independence -- Part IV Summary and Conclusions.Marking the 25th anniversary of Ukraine as a sovereign nation, this book traces its economic transformation since 1991. Post-communist transition has been a highlight of recent history, and Ukraine stands out as one of its most interesting and puzzling cases. Havrylyshyn offers the first comprehensive treatise on the entire period, providing a thorough description of the slow evolution of economic reforms, exploring how and why performance in this regard fell far behind the leaders in transition. Testing several conventional hypotheses, the author argues that while Russian imperialism may form part of the explanation, the self-serving interests of domestic elites and new oligarchs may be even more important. Radically revising the traditional argument that reforms were delayed to allow nation building, this book contends that it was due more to the interests of the non-lustrated elite, who needed time to become the new capitalists. .Studies in Economic Transition,2662-6675Political economyRussia—Politics and governmentEuropean Economic Community literatureEconomic policyInternational Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Russian and Post-Soviet Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911170European Integrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33010Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010UkraineEconomic conditions1991-2014UkraineEconomic conditions2014-UkraineEconomic policy1991-2014UkraineEconomic policy2014-UkrainefastPolitical economy.Russia—Politics and government.European Economic Community literature.Economic policy.International Political Economy.Russian and Post-Soviet Politics.European Integration.Economic Policy.339.5Havrylyshyn Olehauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut122588BOOK9910156215003321The Political Economy of Independent Ukraine2256474UNINA
