Ukraine, The EU and Russia: History, Culture and International Relations (Studies in Central and Eastern Europe) [Hardcover]

Book Description

Publication Date: December 10, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0230517994 | ISBN-13: 978-0230517998 | Edition: 1st

Ukrainians reemerged on Europe's political map in 1991 after more than 200 years of direct Russian rule. As there was no "liberation war" and "old regime" elites were not exiled or executed, the legacies of the past weigh-down particularly heavily. Political independence is not matched by economic, cultural and psychological independence. This book surveys the Ukrainian-EU relationship in light of the legacies of Russian rule. It examines interrelationships between identities, loyalties and political/cultural orientations, reviews policies, and identifies salient forces and trends.
