The contributors to this collection explore the multidimensional
transformation of independent Ukraine and deal with her politics,
society, private sector, identity, arts, religions, media, and
democracy. Each chapter reflects the up-to-date research in its
sub-discipline, is styled for use in seminars, and includes a
bibliography as well as a recommended reading list. These studies
illustrate the deep changes, yet, at the same time, staggering
continuity in Ukraine's post-Soviet development as well as various
counter-reactions to it. All nine chapters are jointly written by two
co-authors, one Ukrainian and one Western, who respond here to recent
needs in international higher education.
