Weak and distorted state capacity has come to be widely recognized as a key obstacle to successful transformation?including economic modernization and growth as well as the consolidation of democracy. However, so far little systematic research has been carried out on state capacity per se and on how to explain its development.The book provides new insights in considering the evolution of Ukraine since 1992, offering an in-depth view of institutional development in crucial areas and thus tracing the process of state-building. It draws comparisons with developments in Belarus, Lithuania, and Russia (based on field research). To capture the process of state-building empirically, focuses on the extraction and expenditure systems which are a central pillar of state capacity and also a central link between citizens and the state. The book also sheds light on how Ukraine?s potential ?second transition? currently under way will have an impact on its institutional system. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aPost-communism$2f 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 606 $aFinance, Public$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00924477 606 $aDemocracy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00890077 606 $aFinance, Public$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aPost-communism$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aDemocracy$zFormer Soviet republics 607 $aSoviet Union$zFormer Soviet republics$2fast 607 $aFormer Soviet republics$xPolitics and government 610 $aDemocracy, Modernization, Nation-building, Political economy, Postcommunism, State-building. 615 7$aPost-communism 615 7$aPolitics and government 615 7$aFinance, Public 615 7$aDemocracy 615 7$aFinance, Public 615 7$aPost-communism 615 7$aDemocracy 676 $a320.947 686 $a327.5$2z 700 $aFritz$b Verena$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0702254 701 $aVerena$b Fritz$01074198 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248206703316 996 $aState-building$92901817 997 $aUNISA
