Ukraine is one of the countries that faced not only political, social and economic transformation, but also state formation and the redefinition of national identity. This book uses Ukraine as a case study in trying to trace the key moments of decision making in the course of creating a new state while shedding the legacies of "Soviet-type" statehood. The Moulding of Ukraine offers a systematic examination of competing ideological visions of statehood and discusses them against the backdrop of historical traditions in Ukraine. This well-documented and lucidly written book is the only coherent account available in English of the process of constitutional reform, offering an insight into post-Soviet Ukrainian politics. A useful addition to university course reading lists in Ukrainian studies, post-Soviet studies, post-communist democratization, comparative constitutionalism, state-building and institutional design. © Central European University Press, 2001 606 $aConstitutional law$zUkraine 606 $aConstitutional history$zUkraine 607 $aUkraine$xPolitics and government$y1991-2014 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aConstitutional history 676 $a342.477 700 $aWolczuk$b Kataryna$0952396 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349480403321 996 $aThe moulding of Ukraine$92153051 997 $aUNINA
