Ukraine and Europe challenges the popular perception of Ukraine as a country torn between Europe and the east. Twenty-two scholars from Europe, North America, and Australia explore the complexities ...of Ukraine's relationship with Europe and its role the continent's historical and cultural development.
This anthology presents translations of literary works by Ukraine's leading writers that imaginatively engage pivotal issues in today's Ukraine and express its tribulations and jubilations. It offers ...English-language readers a wide array of the most beguiling literature written in Ukraine in the past fifty years.
Les Kurbas - director, actor, playwright, filmmaker, and translator - was the first artist to introduce Shakespeare to the Ukrainian stage. Creating the foundations of Soviet Ukrainian theatre and ...cinema, he was also responsible for its avant-garde direction.Shakespeare in the Undiscovered Bournis the first book-length study in English of Kurbas's modernist productions of Shakespeare and the first book on Soviet Shakespeare productions in Ukraine in any language.
Situating Shakespeare within the ideological and cultural debates and conflicts of the early Soviet period, Irena Makaryk traces the trajectory of Shakespeare's and Kurbas's fortunes while also investigating the challenges that modernism posed to early Soviet ideology.
Ukraine's cultural history - still an undiscovered bourn - has frequently been submerged within a homogenized Soviet experience. The fall of the Soviet Union and the consequent opening up of many hitherto inaccessible archives has allowed a new probing of the master narratives created during that regime. Invoking contemporary debates about the cultural uses of Shakespeare (especially issues of canon, classic, and authority),Shakespeare in the Undiscovered Bournexamines the complexities of the Soviet encounter with Shakespeare. It thus makes an important contribution to the studies of theatre, cross-culturalism, modernism, and postcolonialism.
Novija sudska praksa potvrđuje tendenciju razgraničenja epikontinentskih i gospodarskih pojaseva između država čije obale leže sučelice ili međusobno graniče jedinstvenom morskom granicom. ...Utvrđivanje takve zajedničke granične crte, koju su u postupku pred Međunarodnim sudom u Haagu zahtijevale Rumunjska i Ukrajina, u ovome radu je u središtu pozornosti. Dvije države čije obale leže sučelice i međusobno graniče u sjeverozapadnom dijelu Crnog mora nisu se slagale u pogledu pravca granice koja bi se trebala utvrditi, kao ni u pogledu uloge koju bi u tome razgraničenju trebao imati ukrajinski otok Zmiyinyy (Zmijski otok), smješten oko 20 nautičkih milja istočno od delte Dunava. U radu se istražuju povijesni korijeni njihovoga spora i uzroci neuspješnih pregovora tijekom šest godina te analizira postupak pred Međunarodnim sudom. Sud je 2009. godine jednoglasnom odlukom, u skladu s Konvencijom UN-a o pravu mora, odredio pravac jedinstvene morske granice između epikontinentskih i gospodarskih pojaseva dviju država. U pažljivo obrazloženoj odluci Sud je po prvi put izložio svoju ‘’metodologiju razgraničenja’’ već izgrađenu u svojoj prijašnjoj praksi te je izričito naveo tri etape postupka razgraničenja. Prva etapa je utvrđivanje privremene crte razgraničenja, druga etapa je ispitivanje postoje li okolnosti koje su valjan razlog za prilagodbu ili za premještanje te crte i konačno, u trećoj etapi Sud provjerava da ta crta ne vodi nepravičnom rezultatu. Presuda sadrži brojna korisna pojašnjenja odredbi Konvencije iz 1982., posebice članaka 74. i 83,. što je od posebnog značaja za buduća razgraničenja Republike Hrvatske sa susjednim državama na Jadranu.
U radu se prikazuje šira slika polarizacije ukrajinskog društva i uloge regionalnog identiteta
na formiranje stavova raseljenih osoba iz Ukrajine u Republici Hrvatskoj o proruskim
i prozapadnim ...narativnim linijama. Naime, rat u Ukrajini ubrzao je proces reartikulacije
ukrajinskog nacionalnog identiteta koji je započeo početkom stoljeća uslijed pogoršanja
odnosa između Zapada i Rusije. U radu se upotrebljavaju metode deskriptivne statistike,
dok se u obradi hipoteza upotrebljava Mann-Whitney U test. Statističkom analizom rezultata
ankete provedene među raseljenim osobama iz Ukrajine u Republici Hrvatskoj uočena
je razlika u stavovima ispitanika iz istočnog i zapadnog dijela Ukrajine, ali i općenito veće
slaganje s prozapadnim narativnim linijama.
InPainting Imperialism and Nationalism Red, Stephen Velychenko traces the first expressions of national, anti-colonial Marxism to 1918 and the Russian Bolshevik occupation of Ukraine.
Studies of Eastern European literature have largely confined themselves to a single language, culture, or nationality. In this highly original book, Glaser shows how writers working in Russian, ...Ukrainian, and Yiddish during much of the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century were in intense conversation with one another. The marketplace was both the literal locale at which members of these different societies and cultures interacted with one another and a rich subject for representation in their art. It is commonplace to note the influence of Gogol on Russian literature, but Glaser shows him to have been a profound influence on Ukrainian and Yiddish literature as well. And she shows how Gogol must be understood not only within the context of his adopted city of St. Petersburg but also that of his native Ukraine. As Ukrainian and Yiddish literatures developed over this period, they were shaped by their geographical and cultural position on the margins of the Russian Empire. As distinctive as these writers may seem from one another, they are further illuminated by an appreciation of their common relationship to Russia. Glaser's book paints a far more complicated portrait than scholars have traditionally allowed of Jewish (particularly Yiddish) literature in the context of Eastern European and Russian culture.
What are the reasons for change of electoral system in a country in transition? Who are the actors involved and how they do that? What consequences it has for parliament and the party system? This ...paper attempts to provide answers to these questions in the case of Ukraine. In that country, in less than two decades three types of electoral systems have been implemented: majority system in 1994, mixed system in 1998, 2002 and 2012, and proportional system in 2006 and 2007. Such frequent changes occurred due to elite-manipulation which aimed at satisfying self-interests of political elites. Both parliamentary and non-parliamentary elites have been involved in that process, and the most important actors among them have been oligarchs and the President. When the Ukrainian oligarchs as veto-players began to intensively participate in parties' activities, parties began to play a more important role than they did before. We conclude that the type of electoral system and oligarchic influence on parties and elections impacted the way how the party system has been shaped. We show that this system has been instrumentalised to achieve particular objectives of the dominant segments of political and business elites in Ukraine.

On a frigid February night in Kiev in 2013, former president of Poland Aleksander Kwasniewski turned to his friend Pat Cox, the former president of the European Parliament, and said: ""Don't worry, ...Pat. They've got a lot of empty space on this square-an ideal location to put up statues of you and me."" Over a year and a half, Kwasniewski and Cox visited Ukraine 27 times, spending total of 80 days there negotiating the release of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, which would allow Ukraine to sign the Association Agreement with the European Union. The Cox-Kwasniewski mission was part of the EU's final, all-out effort to save the Agreement and give millions of Ukrainians the hope of a European future. After an intricate political game of chicken between the European Union and Victor Yanukovych, the Ukrainian president, Yanukovych swerved at the last second. Ukrainians took to the streets and the wave of civil unrest was born.
