It shows how the parliament transformed itself from a provincial republican Soviet to the national legislature of a sovereign state and from a nominal, symbolic body to a genuine legislative and representative institution. It discusses the key role of parliament in the wider state-building process and examines the evolution of political factions and the committee system in the parliament.BASEES/RoutledgeCurzon series on Russian and East European studies ;10.Representative government and representationUkraineUkrainePolitics and government1991-2014Representative government and representation328.477Whitmore Sarah1971-1482663Whitmore Sarah1971-1482663MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783961703321State-building in Ukraine3700461UNINA
