However, Ukraine came up against unusu- ally tough competition on the international markets, while the process of its entrance onto the world economic stage was rather painful for the country's weak economy. The delay in implementing market reforms and the overly slow restructuring of industry led to the deterioration of Ukraine's foreign trade structure. As opposed to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine has remained an exporter of mostly raw materials and semi-finished products without being able to increase its share of goods with a high added value within the overall export structure. The geographic diversification of Ukraine's foreign trade is being achieved gradually, as well as the strengthening of its position on new markets. This often takes place under the influence of external factors, rather than as a result of the implementation of a well thought-out foreign economic strategy. The overall result is that today, Ukraine's main trade partners remain countries of the CIS (above all, Russia). The strategic significance of foreign trade for Ukraine lies in that the mo- dernisation of the economy, the attraction of large-scale foreign investments and the implementation of new technologies are possible only under condi- tions of the formation of a stable economic system in the country which would be open to the outside world, and Ukraine's organic inclusion in the system of international division of labour. An important factor is the existence of hundreds of enterprises in Ukraine oriented toward foreign markets. For decades, not only large industrial giants, but entire industrial branches (ship-building, rocket construction, military- industrial complex, metallurgy, chemical industry) were deeply integrated in the system of industrial co-operation with the republics of the USSR and socialist countries. After the collapse of the USSR, these branches lost access to traditional markets, that is why huge production capacities went unused under lower demand conditions. The reorientation of these excessive capaci- ties toward other types of production proved ineffective (as the attempts to convert the military-industrial complex demonstrate), while their shrinkage is causing social problems. The renewal of broken co-operative ties and the entry into new markets seems to be more productive, including doing so together with former partners. 2 UCEPS NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENCE UKRAINE ON THE INTERNATIONAL MARKETS 33 NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENCE UCEPS Nevertheless, foreign trade turnover has been decreasing over the last three last the over decreasing been has turnover trade foreign Nevertheless, The high energy consumption of branches oriented toward export (metal- Ukraine is unreasonably losing its traditional (and geographically proxi- Reasons exist for asserting that the potential for the extensive development The aim of this UCEPS analytical report is to point out the basic problem Despite an enduring and deep economic crisis, preconditions continue to the principal indicators of Ukraine's foreign trade are analysed. world Ukraine's economy, the place role in of foreign the trade in the development of the national geographic The determined. are economy, potential export Ukraine's of characteristics main the and cap- and service the on presence Ukraine's and trade, foreign of structure commodity and ital markets are analysed.

    CONFERENCE OPENING Dear Friends, Today, countries are in a global race that gets faster and faster. I am not a political scientist - as an art collector I like to use art when I speak about global challenges. Let me use the famous photographer Andreas Gursky’s “Boxenstopp” as an analogy. A pit stop in Formula 1. One team is blue and yellow. This is Ukraine; these are Ukraine’s colours. What is the Ukrainian team doing? I believe - reforms. In the global race, reforms are pit stops allowing you to change and speed up. Some countries which were slow before improve their position. Like cars that put on the right new tires and fill up with the right amount of gasoline, they can overtake others. Others put on the wrong equip- ment or lose too much time in the pit stop and fall behind. I hope Ukraine’s team will be successful. And I hope for all of us this conference will be an intellectual pit stop where we refuel and re-equip ourselves, take in new energy and ideas, to help all our respective countries become smarter, better, more productive, more just. For this, we have fantastic speakers with us in Yalta, political leaders, business leaders, social leaders, intellectuals. I look forward to our discussions.

  • INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION Ukraine — Presidential Election, 17 January 2010
    NATO Parliamentary Assembly Assemblée parlementaire de l’OTAN INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION MISSION Ukraine — Presidential Election, 17 January 2010 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS The first round of the 17 January presidential election in Ukraine was of high quality and showed significant progress over previous elections. This election met most OSCE and Council of Europe commitments. Civil and political rights were respected, including freedom of assembly, association and expression. Election day was conducted in an efficient and orderly manner. This election saw a diverse field of candidates representing alternative political views, offering a genuine choice to the electorate. Candidates were able to campaign freely across the country without impediment. The campaign period was generally calm and orderly. Unsubstantiated allegations of large-scale electoral fraud negatively affected the pre-election atmosphere and voters’ confidence. In contradiction with the law, administrative resources were misused by candidates in official positions. More transparent campaign financing is necessary during the pre-election period. By voting in large numbers and freely expressing their will, Ukrainians have shown the desire to decide on the course of the country. The intertwining of political and economic interests had a negative influence and undermined public confidence in the political process, posing a challenge for Ukraine’s leadership. Election rules have to be set clearly and should not be a permanent subject of discussion. Regrettably, a unified election code has not yet been adopted in Ukraine. The existing election law as amended in August 2009 was a step backward compared to previous legislation. As a result, the legal framework remains unclear and incomplete.

Executive authority is shared by a directly elected president and a unicameral Verkhovna Rada (parliament), which selects a prime minister as head of government. Elections in 2007 for the 450-seat parliament were considered free and fair. A presidential election is scheduled for January 2010. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. Human rights problems included reports of serious police abuse, beatings, and torture of detainees and prisoners; harsh conditions in prisons and detention facilities; arbitrary and lengthy pretrial detention; an inefficient and corrupt judicial system; and incidents of anti-Semitism. Corruption in the government and society was widespread. There was violence and discrimination against women, children, Roma, Crimean Tatars, and persons of non-Slavic appearance. Trafficking in persons continued to be a serious problem, and there were reports of police harassment of the gay community. Workers continued to face limitations to form and join unions, and to bargain collectively. During the year the government established the Office of the Governmental Commissioner for Anticorruption Policy, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office introduced a new system to improve the recording of hate-motivated crimes.

  • The Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity in Comparison Why Some Resistance Movements Turn Violent, Whereas Others Do Not
    Graduate School of Social Sciences MSc Political Science – International Relations Track Master Thesis The Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity in comparison Why some resistance movements turn violent, whereas others do not Name: Brian Pieneman Student ID: 10535365 Mail: [email protected] Research Project: Violence, resistance and restraint in war and genocide Supervisor: Dr. Jana Krause Second Reader: Dr. Dimitris Bouris Submission Date: June 22, 2018 Words: 23,810 Abstract According to Chenoweth and Stephan (2011), nonviolent resistance movements are more successful in accomplishing political and social change than their violent counterparts. And yet, some nonviolent resistance movements turn to violent strategies in their endeavour to establish political and social change. This decision seems counterproductive and is worth studying. This thesis argues that mass mobilization is a double-edged sword – i.e. on the one hand, mass mobilization is required to accomplish the objectives of a nonviolent resistance movement, but mass mobilization appeals to people with different motives to participate in a nonviolent resistance movement, on the other hand. To elaborate this argument, the (nonviolent) Orange Revolution and the (violent) Revolution of Dignity are extensively studied and compared. These case studies indicate that different motivations for participation in a nonviolent resistance movement can be problematic in case of a lack of leadership and unity within the resistance movement. ~ Nonviolence, Social Movements, Orange Revolution, Revolution of Dignity ~ Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my thesis supervisor Dr. Jana Krause for her moral guidance and encouraging words during the thesis process. I admit that my process was far from flawless, it has been a true struggle and without the help of my supervisor I would, in all probability, not have been able to write this thesis and to submit this thesis today.

The Russian government decided to freeze its financial aid of $12 billion (3 billion was provided in December) and cheaper natural gas prices the day after Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov resigned on January 28. Meanwhile, the hryvnia has fallen the most of any currency this year except the Argentine peso, hitting its lowest value in five years on February 5. “We estimate that National Bank reserves can fall to an alarming level of $15 billion already by the end of February, which can lead to further hryvnia devaluation beyond the Bank’s control, further cuts to Ukraine’s credit ratings and eventually lead to Ukraine’s default by the end of this spring,” said Alexander Paraschiy, the head of research at Concorde Capital investment bank in Kyiv. Most of the key players have offered their solution, except for the Yanukovych administration, which is still deciding. The proposals have turned out to be just as divergent as the inter- ests of the players involved, indicating that whatever decision is made will draw a fierce reaction from someone else.
