PEACE OR POWER POLITICS:
Paul D’Anieri, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, explores the recent democratic history of Europe’s second largest nation in his book “Understanding Ukrainian Politics: Power, Politics and Institutional Design.” More than once the former Soviet state has appeared to be well on the way to peaceful democracy, only for those efforts to be trumped by power politics. D’Anieri’s book helps provide an understanding of Ukrainian politics and why such problems are common to former Soviet states and developing nations.
