  • Ukrainian Civil Society from the Orange Revolution to Euromaidan: Striving for a New Social Contract
    In: IFSH (ed.), OSCE Yearbook 2014, Baden-Baden 2015, pp. 219-235. Iryna Solonenko Ukrainian Civil Society from the Orange Revolution to Euromaidan: Striving for a New Social Contract This is the Maidan generation: too young to be burdened by the experi- ence of the Soviet Union, old enough to remember the failure of the Orange Revolution, they don’t want their children to be standing again on the Maidan 15 years from now. Sylvie Kauffmann, The New York Times, April 20141 Introduction Ukrainian civil society became a topic of major interest with the start of the Euromaidan protests in November 2013. It has acquired an additional dimen- sion since then, as civil society has pushed for reforms following the ap- pointment of the new government in February 2014, while also providing as- sistance to the army and voluntary battalions fighting in the east of the coun- try and to civilian victims of the war. In the face of the weakness of the Ukrainian state, which is still suffering from a lack of political will, poor governance, corruption, military weakness, and dysfunctional law enforce- ment – many of those being in part Viktor Yanukovych’s legacies – civil so- ciety and voluntary activism have become a driver of reform and an import- ant mobilization factor in the face of external aggression. This contribution examines the transformation of Ukrainian civil society during the period between the 2004 Orange Revolution and the present day. Why this period? The Orange Revolution and the Euromaidan protests are landmarks in Ukraine’s post-independence state-building and democratiza- tion process, and analysis of the transformation of Ukrainian civil society during this period offers interesting findings.2 Following a brief portrait of Ukrainian civil society and its evolution, the contribution examines the rela- tionships between civil society and three other actors: the state, the broader society, and external actors involved in supporting and developing civil soci- ety in Ukraine.

  • National Bank of Ukraine Inflation Report | October 2020 1
    National Bank of Ukraine Inflation Report | October 2020 1 National Bank of Ukraine The Inflation Report reflects the opinion of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) regarding the current and future economic state of Ukraine with a focus on inflationary developments that form the basis for monetary policy decision-making. The NBU publishes the Inflation Report quarterly in accordance with the forecast cycle. The primary objective of monetary policy is to achieve and maintain price stability in the country. Price stability implies a moderate increase in prices rather than their unchanged level. Low and stable inflation helps preserve the real value of income and savings of Ukrainian households, and enables entrepreneurs to make long-term investments in the domestic economy, fostering job creation. The NBU also promotes financial stability and sustainable economic growth unless it compromises the price stability objective. To ensure price stability, the NBU applies the inflation targeting regime. This framework has the following features: . A publicly declared inflation target and commitment to achieve it. Monetary policy aims to bring inflation to the medium- term inflation target of 5%. The NBU seeks to ensure that actual inflation does not deviate from this target by more than one percentage point in either direction. The main instrument through which the NBU influences inflation is the key policy rate. Reliance on the inflation forecast. In Ukraine, it takes between 9 and 18 months for a change in the NBU’s key policy rate to have a major effect on inflation. Therefore, the NBU pursues a forward-looking policy that takes into account not so much the current inflation rate as the most likely future inflation developments.

  • Civil Society in Ukraine
    STUDY In Search of Sustainability Civil Society in Ukraine MRIDULA GHOSH June 2014 n In terms of number and variety of organizations, as well as levels and range of activi- ties, civil society and free media in Ukraine are the richest in the former Soviet Union, despite difficult institutional conditions and irregular funding. n The strength of civil society in Ukraine has been tested by time. Confronting his- torical socio-political challenges, ranging from political impasse, internal civil war- like conditions to external threats and aggression, from the Orange revolution in 2004 – 2005 to the Euro-Maidan uprising that started at the end of 2013, civil society in Ukraine is marked by spontaneous unity, commitment, and speedy mobilization of resources, logistics and social capital. It benefits from a confluence of grassroots activism, social networks and formalized institutions. n Despite its resilience in crisis, however, Ukraine’s civil society is yet to develop sus- tainable interaction in policy dialogue and to have the desired impact on changing people’s quality of life. State institutions lay down the terms of cooperation with civil society and not vice versa. In the current economic crisis, political turmoil and corruption, civil society has yet to become a systemic tool in policymaking, relying on outreach through grassroots communication, social and new media networks. n Ukraine’s civil society has campaigned mainly with non-violent means. Now, after the Euro-Maidan experience it is well placed to face the post-crisis development challenges; namely more transparency, overcoming social and political polarization and establishing a human rights-based approach to heal the broken social fabric.

    NATIONAL BANK OF UKRAINE ANNUAL REPORT 2005 Dear Sirs, We would like to offer for your attention the Annual Report of the National Bank of Ukraine for 2005 prepared in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On the National Bank of Ukraine". The major achievements of Ukraine's macroeconomic development in 2005 primarily were the households' real income growth, unemployment decrease, inflation rate lowering and acceleration in the rates of foreign capi- tal attraction to Ukraine.

We consider that the publication of the information of the results of the National Bank of Ukraine activity for the reporting year will promote trans- parency of its work and retaining of confidence in the national monetary unit.

Sincerely, Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine Volodymyr Stelmakh Council of the National Bank of Ukraine (as at 1 January 2006) Valerii Heiets Valerii Alioshyn Serhii Buriak Anatolii Danylenko Olexander Dubrov Chairman

The approach highlights especially the meaning of socio•historical and religious factors in the emergence of the Mission view of Messianic Jewish women. Ukraine, the location of this study case, is an ex•Soviet country of about 48 million citizens with 100 ethnic nationalities. Members of the Jewish Faith form one of those ethnic groups. Following the Russian revolution in 1989 and then the establishing of an independent Ukraine in 1991, the country descended into economic disaster with many consequent social problems.

  • Ukraine and the ILO Vol. I
    Ukraine and the ILO (in two volumes) Volume I Historical background and recent developments Grigorij Prensilevich Igor Chernyshev Copyright © 2018 Grigorij Prensilevich and Igor Chernyshev. This work is registered with UK Copyright Service. Ukraine and the ILO (in two volumes) Vol. I: Historical background and recent developments; vol. II: Documents ISBN: 978-2-8399-2591-4 (pdf) The book cover designed by Ms Milena Chernysheva. The responsibility for opinions expressed in the publication rests solely with their authors, and publication does not constitute an endorsement by the International Labour Office of the opinions expressed in them. Since August 1991, Ukraine exists as an Independent State. At the same time, the history of its membership in the International Labour Organization (ILO) counts more than 60 years and began in 1954. How the country, called at that time the Ukrainian Soviet So- cialist Republic (Ukrainian SSR), became a member of the ILO while being a part of the Soviet Union? The book answers this and many other questions, and looks into many unknown, varied, dramatic but at the same time exiting historical facts of relationship between the country and the ILO, including a hidden and extended pre-membership pe- riod. Volume I describes the relationship between Ukraine and the ILO with a focus on the two distinctive periods: the Soviet period (1954-1991) and the period covering the years of Ukraine’s independence, as of 1991 and beyond. Special emphasis is made on the recent developments in the collaboration between Ukraine and the ILO in such topical areas as: Decent Work Country Programmes, ratification and application of the ILO Con- ventions, labour migration, social dialogue, restructuring of labour statistics and labour market information system, prevention and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, occupational safety and health.
