Anders Åslund Anders Åslund Ukraine: What Went Wrong and How to Fix It Anders Åslund BESET BY RUSSIAN MILITARY AGGRESSION and the legacy from its years of economic mismanagement, Ukraine faces an existential crisis that has also roiled the politics of Europe. Yet there is a glimmer of hope and opportunity for this tormented country. In 2014 Ukraine carried out free and fair elections of a new president and parliament. With this democratic foundation, Ukraine can shape its future and return to economic and political stability. In this book, one of the world’s leading experts on Ukraine offers its new leadership a strategy for reform. Anders Åslund maintains that the country’s fundamental problem is corruption and poor governance, which requires radical reform of the state from the top down. He calls for the cleansing of the judiciary and law enforcement, including the abolition of the many intrusive inspection agencies, which use a regime of licenses, permits, and certifications to squeeze the lifeblood of the economy. The book also advocates cuts in wasteful public expenditures and deregulation to promote growth—but it also calls for international financing spearheaded by the International Monetary Fund. The European UKRAINE Union and the United States must also help. The book focuses extensively on the energy sector, which Åslund argues is the biggest source of top-level corruption and wasteful subsidies and should be reformed with a unified system of energy prices determined by the market, not government. Åslund also details a series of reforms in education and health care. To assure Ukraine’s success, the European Union must assume the role of anchor of the country’s democratic and market economic reforms. ANDERS ÅSLUND is a leading specialist on economic policy in Eastern Europe, especially Russia and Ukraine. Since 2006, he has been a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. He also teaches at Georgetown University. He has been deeply engaged in Ukraine since 1985, having served as an economic advisor to its government in 1994–97. In 2004 he cochaired a United Nations Blue Ribbon Commission for Ukraine and a similar International Commission of Independent Experts in 2009. He was one of the founders of the Kyiv School of Economics and cochaired its board of directors (2003–12). He is the author of 14 books, including How Capitalism Was Built: The Transformation of Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, the Caucasus and Central Asia (2007, 2013), How Ukraine Became a Market Economy and Democracy (2009), and Russia’s Capitalist Revolution: Why Market Reform Succeeded and Democracy Failed (2007). He has also edited 16 books, including Economic Reform in Ukraine: the Unfinished Agenda (2000), Revolution in Orange (2006), and The Great Rebirth: Lessons from the Victory of Capitalism over Communism (2014). Åslund was the director of the Russian and Eurasian Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, founding director of the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics, and professor at the Stockholm School of Economics. He earned his doctorate from the University of Oxford.

  • Private Sector Development Policy Handbook
    PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT POLICY HANDBOOK Attracting Investment in Renewable Energy in Ukraine - SECTOR COMPETITIVENESS STRATEGY FOR UKRAINE PHASE II - NOVEMBER 2012 The OECD Eastern Europe and South Caucasus Initiative Launched in April 2009, the OECD Eastern Europe and South Caucasus Initiative is part of the OECD Eurasia Competitiveness Programme, which aims to contribute to economic growth in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. Its objective is to share with the governments of the region the knowledge, experience and good practices of OECD countries to create a sound business climate for investment, enhance productivity and support entrepreneurship, develop the private sector, and build knowledge-based economies to render its sectors more competitive and attractive to foreign investment. Its approach comprises both a regional policy dimension, which entails peer dialogue and capacity building, and a country-specific aspect supporting the implementation of a number of prioritised reforms. A sector analysis is also included, covering the formulation of targeted policies and strategies requested at the industry level. Within the framework of the programme, public authorities, the private sector and civil society in these countries have been engaged in a dialogue and collaboration process to support policy actions and identify the key barriers to sectoral competitiveness. The participation of all the stakeholders in the reform process, including foreign investors, is considered to be crucial for guaranteeing the effectiveness and transparency of the recommended policies. 2 Foreword Since 2009, the OECD Eurasia Competitiveness Programme has supported the Government of Ukraine in advancing national economic reform through its “Sector Competitiveness Strategy for Ukraine” project. This handbook contains the conclusions of the second phase of the project.

  • The Progress Report on G7 Energy Sector Support for Ukraine
    The Progress Report on G7 Energy Sector Support for Ukraine Foreword The Energy Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the EU Commissioner for Energy met in Rome in May 2014. They discussed ways to strengthen collective energy security and issued the Rome Energy Security Initiative, which provided for a number of immediate actions to be taken. On the basis of this initiative, Italy compiled “Rome G7 Energy Initiative for Energy Security Implementation Report” and submitted to the Hamburg G7 Energy Ministerial Meeting in May 2015. At the Hamburg meeting in May 2015, G7 Energy Ministers discussed progress since the meeting in Rome in strengthening collective energy security and decided on a further initiative to effectively improve sustainable energy security of G7 countries and beyond, taking into account recent market developments. In the G7 Hamburg Initiative for Sustainable Energy Security, G7 Energy Ministers declared concrete joint actions with non-G7 countries to further strengthen sustainable energy security. In the G7 Elmau Summit Communiqué published in June 2015, the G7 leaders welcomed the Hamburg Initiative and announced their commitment to continue to support vulnerable countries, including Ukraine, in its efforts to reform and liberalize energy systems and aimed to further diversify its energy mix, fuels, energy sources and routes. This paper aims to report to the G7 Energy Ministers about the outcomes of support for Ukraine by G7 member countries, EU and the IEA after the “Rome G7 Energy Initiative for Energy Security Implementation Report”. Given that our support for reforming and liberalizing energy systems in most vulnerable countries including Ukraine, is one of the concrete actions described in the Hamburg G7 Initiative, this paper organizes the current state and progress of reforming Ukraine’s energy system and identifies unsolved issues.

  • Mental Health in Ukraine
    2021 Yale Institute for Global Health Case Competition Mental Health in Ukraine 2021 Yale Institute for Global Health Case Competition Case Writing Team: Sina Reinhard (Chair), Yale School of Public Health Annan Dang, Yale School of Public Health Mitchelle Matesva, Yale School of Medicine Patricia Ryan-Krause, Yale School of Nursing (Faculty Advisor) Special thanks to Marie Brault for review of the case The scenarios, prompt, and vignettes of this case are based on existing initiatives, organizations, and individuals; however, details have been dramatized. Materials beyond the case scenario and prompt are meant to portray an accurate representation of global mental health and Ukraine’s burden of mental illness. The authors have provided facts and figures within the case and appendices to help teams. The data provided are derived from independent sources, may have been adapted for use in this case, and are clearly cited such that teams can verify or contest the findings within their recommendations if it is pertinent to do so. Introduction In January 2020, Ukraine was selected as a priority country for the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Special Initiative for Mental Health (2019-2023). Ukraine carries a high burden of mental illness with a particularly high prevalence of depression in comparison to other countries. Mental disorders are the country’s second leading cause of disability burden in terms of disability adjusted life years and are estimated to affect 30% of the population [100]. Since joining the initiative, Ukraine has experienced a renewed political commitment to mental health policy and service expansion combined with growing public interest in mental health issues.
