Chair: Mariya Omelicheva Robert Rohrschneider Nazli Avdan Steven Maynard-Moody Erik Herron Date Defended: 24 July 2017 The dissertation committee for Lidiya Zubytska certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Explaining Foreign Policy Change in Transitional States: A Case Study of Ukraine between Two Revolutions Chair: Mariya Omelicheva Date Approved: 24 July 2017 ii ABSTRACT Over the span of a decade, Ukraine saw two revolutions that rocked its political and social life to the very core. The Orange revolution of 2004, a watershed event in the post-Soviet history of East European states, reversed the authoritarian trend in the country and proclaimed its course for democracy and integration with the European Union. However, reforms and electoral promises of the revolutionary leaders quickly turned into shambles, and instead another pro- Russian authoritarian leader consolidated power. As Ukrainian political elites vacillated between closer ties with the EU to its west and the Russian Federation to its east, the 2014 Revolution of Dignity rose again to defend the European future for Ukraine. In this work, I investigate the driving forces shaping foreign policymaking in Ukraine during these years. I posit that it was precisely because such policies were shaped in an uncertain post-revolutionary transitional political environment that we are able to see seemingly contradictory shifts in Ukraine’s relations with the EU and Russia.

They expected, however, that it would be like 1998, when extensive flooding in the region only touched them. While many surrounding villages suffered that year, in Tekovo water flooded the street and surround- ing fields, but barely reached most homes. This time the vil- lagers were not as lucky. Tekovo, along with the neighboring hamlets of Sasovo and Chornotysiv, took the brunt of the water from the Tysa River on March 5-6 as it rushed down from the highlands over the railroad tracks and into these low-lying areas. Shocked villagers watched in horror as the water washed into town in the afternoon and then steadily rose throughout the evening and into the night, for 14 hours in all, collaps- ing walls and ceilings, and causing destruction the likes of which this village had rarely seen. Before the onslaught finally began to recede just as the sun rose, the water had reached nearly two meters in some Efrem Lukatsky of the homes, as evidenced by the watermarks left behind.

  • Ukraine from Chernobyl’ to Sovereignty
    Edited by Roman Solchanyk Ukraine From Chernobyl’ to Sovereignty A Collection of Interviews Foreword by Norman Stone ‘In this collection of interviews, Ukrainian voices can now speak hopefully about their present and future. These voices include tones which, in the past, might have been discordant. There is now, however, a good chance that people in Ukraine, whether of Ukrainian, Russian, Jewish, or other origin, will have a state they can call their own — Norman Stone Ukraine, a country of 52 million people that became independent in 1991, plays a key role in the rapidly changing political situation in Eastern Europe. Often referred to as the ‘reservation of stagnation’ during the early stages of perestroika , Ukraine has emerged as a forceful advocate of state sovereignty and one of the main exponents of political and economic reform among the republics of the former USSR. Asserting their national, cultural and political rights at home, Ukrainians are determined to play a more visible role in the international arena as well. A crucial turning-point was the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl’, which became a national issue capable of mobilizing vast numbers of people irrespective of their political, social or ethnic ties. The popular movement ‘Rukh’ united democratic reform- ers of various nationalities in the struggle against conservative forces intent on salvag- ing the remnants of a decaying system. The central issues in this process of transform- ation are reflected in this collection of interviews with leading political, cultural and scientific figures who have made significant contributions to these changes.
