  • Elections, Revolution and Democracy in Ukraine
    ELECTIONS, REVOLUTION AND DEMOCRACY IN UKRAINE: REFLECTIONS ON A COUNTRY’S TURN TO DEMOCRACY, FREE ELECTIONS AND THE MODERN WORLD By Jeffrey Clark With Jason Stout October 2005 DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATES: STRENGTHENING ELECTORAL ADMINISTRATION IN UKRAINE PROJECT This publication was made possible through support provided by the Regional Mission for Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova, U.S. Agency for International Development, under the terms of Agreement No. 121-A-00- 04-00701-00. The opinions expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Agency for International Development. PREFACE A USAID-supported activity known as the Strengthening Electoral Administration in Ukraine Project (SEAUP), administered by Development Associates, played a decidedly important role in facilitating Ukraine’s turn to democracy in 2004. The pages that follow provide evidence of that unequivocal conclusion, but just as importantly offer reflections on how the project was perceived and implemented of interest to promoters of free elections and democratization elsewhere. SEAUP’s success would have been unattainable without the unwavering support USAID gave the initiative and the trust placed in its professional staff. The Kyiv Mission granted considerable administrative flexibility that proved essential as political tensions increased and unplanned program inputs had to be devised virtually overnight to meet the challenges of a massively fraudulent vote and a court-ordered revote. The efforts of external players to foment anti-American sentiments further complicated the environment and imposed additional constraints on project implementers. USAID sponsored other implementing agencies actively supporting democratic consolidation in Ukraine, working directly with NDI, IRI, Freedom House, InterNews, and ABA/CEELI.

  • Hand-Me-Down Cabinet
    Hand-me-down cabinet No. 23/224, June 4, 2001 "Today there is no time for experiments in the composition of the government, and of the parliament either" Anatoly Kinakh, UNIAN, May 29, 2001 "We'll live and see, but conclusions must be made" Leonid Kuchma, UNIAN, May 29, 2001 239 is one of the Ukrainian parliament's magic figures. Those who have followed Ukrainian politics for a relatively long time might recall the notorious "Group 239" in the 1st parliament (1990-1004), also known as a group "For a Soviet Sovereign Ukraine". The influential block consisted mainly of high- ranking Communist party apparatchiks and "red directors" that lobbied the election of former chief Ukrainian ideologist Leonid Kravchuk to replace Volodymyr Ivashko in July 1990. Among other possible candidates for the position was Ihor Yukhnovsky, MP, nominated by the democratic People's Council. At that time member of the parliament Anatoly Kinakh, 35, was not a member of the Group 239, but belonged to the oppositional People's Council - which was rather exotic for a politician from Southern Ukraine and an industrialist. On May 29, 2001, 239 votes were cast in favor of approving Kinakh, member of the 3rd parliament and chairman of the Ukrainian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, in the position of Prime Minister of Ukraine. The new government is the tenth since Ukraine gained its independence in August 1991. Having approved the nomination of Kinakh the Ukrainian parliament, apparently, passed a test for being "democratic", "pro-market" and "society-conscious". Noteworthy, at the height of debates about potential candidates to occupy the top executive position President Leonid Kuchma warned publicly that the voting would "let us see who is who in the parliament, whether those who declare market reforms are really democrats" and that "we will see who really stands on the basis of democracy and market reform and who is just a salesman who speculates on the situation, cares about his own interests and interests of his clan" (UNIAN, May 25, 2001).

  • The December 1, 1991 Referendum/Presidential Election in Ukraine
    101st CONGRESS Printed for the use of the 2nd Session Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe The December 1, 1991 Referendum/Presidential Election in Ukraine 1992 A Report Prepared by the Staff of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION (OSCE) The Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the Helsinki process, traces its origin to the signing of the Helsinki Final Act in Finland on August 1, 1975, by the leaders of 33 European countries, the United States and Canada. Since then, its membership has expanded to 55, reflecting the breakup of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. (The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Mon- tenegro, has been suspended since 1992, leaving the number of countries fully participating at 54.) As of January 1, 1995, the formal name of the Helsinki process was changed to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The OSCE is engaged in standard setting in fields including military security, economic and environmental cooperation, and human rights and humanitarian concerns. In addition, it undertakes a variety of preventive diplomacy initiatives designed to prevent, manage and resolve conflict within and among the participating States. The OSCE has its main office in Vienna, Austria, where weekly meetings of permanent representatives are held. In addition, specialized seminars and meetings are convened in various locations and periodic consultations among Senior Officials, Ministers and Heads of State or Government are held.

  • Canadian Humour
    Canadian humour Canadian humour is an integral part of the Canadian Identity. There are several traditions in Canadian humour in both English and French. While these traditions are distinct and at times very different, there are common themes that relate to Canadians' shared history and geopolitical situation in North America and the world. Various trends can be noted in Canadian comedy. One thread is the portrayal of a "typical" Canadian family in an on-going radio or television series. Examples include La famille Plouffe, with its mix of drama, humour, politics and religion and sitcoms such as King of Kensington and La Petite Vie. Another major thread tends to be political and cultural satire: television shows such as CODCO, Royal Canadian Air Farce, La Fin du monde est à 7 heures and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, monologuists such as Yvon Deschamps and Rick Mercer and writers, including Michel Tremblay, Will Ferguson and Eric Nicol draw their inspiration from Canadian and Québécois society and politics. Another trend revels in absurdity, demonstrated by television series like The Kids in the Hall and The Frantics, and musician-comedians such as The Arrogant Worms, Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie and Bowser and Blue. Satire is arguably the primary characteristic of Canadian humour, evident in each of these threads, and uniting various genres and regional cultural differences. Humber College in Toronto and the École nationale de l'humour in Montreal offer post-secondary programmes in comedy writing and performance. Montreal is also home to the bilingual (English and French) Just For Laughs festival and to the Just for Laughs museum, a bilingual, international museum of comedy.

  • Political Instability in Ukraine Ukraine Lies in a Strategic Position Between
    Political Instability in Ukraine Ukraine lies in a strategic position between Europe and Asia. To its west holds a strong European pull, while its east experiences a large Russian influence. Since the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine has struggled to form its own identity. Russian influence is constantly looming in their country due to its close proximity between Western and Eastern policies and cultures. As a result, Ukraine had developed an identity crisis through “the West’s desire [for] a ‘stable, democratic government,’ and adher[ance] to the Westphalian commitment to the sanctity of borders…,”1 while the eastern regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, as well as the Crimean Peninsula hold very strong political, ethnic, and national ties to Russia. Circa 10th and 11th centuries, Kiev Ukraine (then known as Kyivan Rus) was the political and cultural epicenter and first established Slavic state of all of Eastern Europe; moreover, it stood out as one of the most significant powers in all of Europe. This political power was soon brought to an end as Mongols began to invade and establish what is known as the Golden Horde in the mid 13th century and overtook much of the territory. Midway through the 14th century and on until the 15th, the Polish and Lithuanian commonwealth descended southeast to overtake much of the northern and western parts of Ukraine, and soon after, the Crimean Khanate disbanded from the Golden Horde in order to take over the southern territory. This effectively created one of the more important Turkic states within the Ottoman Empire and the Horde was able to hold its ground up until the late 18th century when Imperialist Russia annexed the land.
