The new leadership has to unify the opposition and build effective political and economic institutions. This opportunity was missed following the Soviet collapse in 1989 and the 2004 Orange ARevolution. Ukraine’s economic indicators over the past generation tell the story. In 1989 Ukraine’s GDP was slightly larger than its neighbour Poland. Today the economy of Poland is almost three times greater, following early and painful economic reforms. Regarding corruption, Poland ranks in the top quartile of Transparency International’s Corruption Perception index, Ukraine is on a par with Nigeria and Iran. Ukraine’s politicians have spent these years playing off the West and Russia, and extracting resources from both sides. Corruption amongst this group has been pervasive. One has to remember that the deposed President Yanukovych was elected following corruption accusations. Some European and Ukrainian officials have suggested that the EU Association Agreement should be signed immediately. This would be a mistake. Implementing the EUAA demands years of legislative work that are designed to bring Ukraine’s laws closer to Europe’s legal framework. There need to be elections for the presidency and the parliament. And there need to be negotiations involving the EU, US, Russians and of course the Ukrainians over how these elections will be managed so they are fair and ensure representative government. This will probably need constitutional reform. The West should also save Ukraine from default and prepare an emergency package of aid and credits. Longer-term help will have to be conditional on reforms similar to those undertaken by Poland over 20 years ago. This will not be enough to create a dynamic and prosperous Ukraine, but at least it should reduce corruption and ensure a representative and elected government is in place. ■ PHOENIX MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHERS SALES DIRECTOR ISSN 1751-0023 NR35 1PU Tom Forster David Thompson United Kingdom Roy Williams ©2014 The entire content of this SALES TEAM publication is protected by copyright, full www.worldcommercereview.com MANAGING EDITOR David Warmann details of which are available from the Tom Forster Phil Shaw publisher.

A Review of Europe’s Civilian Capacities Daniel Korski & Richard Gowan Foreword by Jean-Marie Guéhenno ABOUT ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values-based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: A pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over one hundred Members – politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries – which meets twice a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Martti Ahtisaari, Joschka Fischer and Mabel van Oranje. A physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris and Sofia. In the future ECFR plans to open offices in Rome, Warsaw and Brussels. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. A distinctive research and policy development process. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to advance its objectives through innovative projects with a pan-European focus.

  • Question D'europe N°322
    th th 20 October 2015 BREXIT: What Fair Deal between UK and EU Member States? Thierry CHOPIN INTRODUCTION : Christian LEQUESNE (eds) UK's relationship with the European Union has never been a bed of roses. In 1975, barely two years after joining, Harold Wilson’s Labour government consulted the British population by referendum asking them whether they wanted to remain in the European Community. At that time 67% answered “yes”. For the 42 years of membership, taking part in Europe has, for most British governments, comprised preventing Europe’s institutions from having too much power and negotiating exemptions and derogations to protect national sovereignty. In 2015 this has led to a UK that has managed to escape both from the single currency and the Schengen Agreements on the free movement of people. There are three areas in which the UK has made a strong contribution to the European Union without playing a wild-card: the creation of the internal market, enlargement and defence. The British have always felt comfortable with a European Union defined as a vast market, but much less so with one of political union. Since a market can never exist without regulation the governments in London have accepted however, whether they have liked it or not, for the European Union to regulate trade, financial services and capital. Hence enlargements have often been viewed as positive extensions to the market. Since UK, along with France, are the only ones to have an army that can project itself outside of the European Union, it has been able to make a significant contribution to European Defence without committing strongly to the institutionalisation of a European Defence Policy, which might have competed against NATO.

  • Part III Eurosceptic Civil Society
    Part III Eurosceptic Civil Society 8 Performing Euroscepticism: The UK Press and Cameron’s Bloomberg Speech Oliver Daddow Introduction UK newspapers have exerted manifest structuring effects over Britain’s national debates about ‘Europe’. First, the UK newspaper market is dominated by various forms of Eurosceptical sentiment and since the Eurozone crisis in particular has expounded a form of ‘hard Euroscepticism’ (Taggart and Szczerbiak 2004) which extolls the merits of EU withdrawal. Second, Eurosceptical journalists have popularized a Eurosceptic discourse through which European integration is constructed both as ‘over there’ and as an implied or explicit threat to British sovereignty interests and national identity (Anderson and Weymouth 1998; Hawkins 2012). Chris Gifford has usefully described this ‘populist politics’ of Euroscepticism in his account of the ideological manifestations of Euroscepticism in the UK (Gifford 2014, p.6). It draws on an obsession with past conflicts and the Second World War especially, which have provided British Eurosceptics with a range of linguistic weapons to keep their audiences in a ‘permanent state of discursive war’ (Daddow 2011, pp.109–34) with a malign ‘other’ across the English Channel (Gifford 2006). Third, with elite Europhile opinion seeping away in elite political discourse and policy the UK press has been a significant factor in agenda-setting on European issues policy through the ‘climate of fear’ it has generated against the public espousal of pro-European narratives (Daddow 2012). Comparatively speaking, Britain is home to an ‘unusually Eurosceptical media market’ especially on the press side: this goes for the volume of Eurosceptical coverage and the bombastic, nationalistic and sometimes xenophobic tone of that coverage (Ford et al.
