  • Gender and Nation in Independent Ukraine LO Yi a Thesis Submitted
    Gender and Nation in Independent Ukraine LO Yi A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Gender Studies and History ©The Chinese University of Hong Kong July 2002 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of the thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate School. Abstract of thesis entitled Gender and Nation in Independent Ukraine Submitted by LO Yi For the degree of Master of Philosophy in Gender Studies and History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in July 2002 Abstract This thesis examines the problems of gender relations and nation in post-Soviet Ukraine and aims to engender the Ukrainian nation building project. This project claims to be in the interest of all Ukrainian citizens, but is in fact profoundly gendered. Women and men have different gender roles, however it is typically men who are in control of the nation building project, and therefore of defining national gender norms. Central to male Ukrainian nation builders' conception of the ''Ukrainian woman" is the ancient Slav pagan goddess Berehynia. Berehynia is represented as an ancient figure, the protectress of Ukrainian traditions and values since ancient times. Her image is used to promote the cult of the mother and child, the home and hearth, and thus to shape the desires and ambitions of contemporary Ukrainian women. The cult of Berehynia first became popular after the publication of Berehynia in 1987 by Ukrainian ethnographer Vasyl Skurativskyi.

  • Strategic Framework for the Danish Neighbourhood Programme 2017-2021
    F2: 2016-40165 Strategic Framework for the Danish Neighbourhood Programme 2017-2021 The present note presents the overall strategic framework for the Danish Neighbourhood Programme (DANEP) 2017-2021 covering Ukraine and Georgia. The framework is complemented by and put into practice through individual country programmes for Ukraine and Georgia. October 2017 1. Purpose, Vision and Theory of Change The strategic framework for Danish Neighbourhood Programme (DANEP) is based on the understanding that a peaceful and stable Europe with freedom and progress for its citizens depends heavily on the development of democratic societies with accountable governments, vibrant civil societies, free media, well- functioning markets, sustainable economic growth and conflict resolution mechanisms across the continent. The European Union (EU) plays an important role as a driving force for reforms. Denmark supports the strong EU commitment to the Eastern neighbourhood region and an EU that speaks with one voice in the region. EU is by far the biggest partner in terms of assistance to the region through financial instruments such as the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI), the financial arm of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), contributing to strengthening EU- relations in the region and bringing tangible benefits in areas such as democracy and human rights, rule of law, good governance and sustainable development. The Danish bilateral assistance through DANEP aims at complementing the EU’s assistance through targeted and flexible interventions. At the same time, the framework focuses on ensuring that the countries supported have the capacity to counter Russia’s negative influence in the region and attempts to undermine the democratic reform processes.

  • SAGUD Opinion
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF DEMOCRACY Special Adviser to the Government of Ukraine on Decentralisation Kyiv, 24 June 2016 SAGUD-LPO (2016)1 Opinion1 of the Special Adviser to the Government of Ukraine on Decentralisation On the amendments to certain legislative acts of Ukraine (as to voluntary accession of territorial communities) 1 This opinion reflects the views of the Special Adviser, based on Council of Europe standards and best European practice. It does not constitute an official position of the Council of Europe on the issue under consideration. 1 1. Situation of the amalgamation process in Ukraine The decentralisation process in Ukraine is hindered by the fact that 93% of local authorities have less than 3,000 inhabitants; this is a threshold under which extremely few services if any can be provided independently by local authorities. The excessive municipal fragmentation is a very common European (and even) world problem which can only be dealt with in two ways: by amalgamation and/or by inter-municipal co-operation. The Council of Europe has standards (in particular in the field of amalgamation) and tools (in particular in the field of inter-municipal co- operation) and has supported or is supporting several countries to conduct such reforms. Ukraine has chosen the path of amalgamation, usually seen as more efficient and less costly but more difficult both technically and politically. The process was launched in 2014 with full support from the Council of Europe. The process is based on the Law on voluntary amalgamation of territorial communities, signed by the President of Ukraine on 5 February 2015.
