Corruption is pursued for different purposes including cooperation with strategic partners and exclusion of opponents. Presidents use anti-corruption policies to legitimize and institutionalize political domination. Corrupt practices and anti-corruption policies become two sides of the same coin and are exercised to maintain an uneven political playing field. This study combines empirical analysis and social constructivism for an investigation into the presidencies of Leonid Kuchma (1994–2005), Viktor Yushchenko (2005–2010), and Viktor Yanukovych (2010–2014). Explorative expert interviews, press surveys, content analysis of presidential speeches, as well as critical assessment of anti-corruption legislation are used for comparison and process tracing of the utilization of corruption under three Ukrainian presidents.UkraineKorruptioncorruptionHybrid regimeHybride RegimePolitical regimePolitische SystemeUkraineKorruptioncorruptionHybrid regimeHybride RegimePolitical regimePolitische Systeme378.1662Huss Oksanaaut1598449Umland AndreasedtDebiel TobiasauiGawrich AndreaauiMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966936803321How corruption and anti-corruption policies sustain hybrid regimes3920729UNINA
