Orange Revolution and Aftermath : Mobilization, Apathy, and the State in Ukraine Hardback
Edited by Paul J. (Dean, University of Florida) D'Anieri
Hardback
Description
In 2004, hundreds of thousands of Ukranian protestors mobilized in the streets of Kyiv against authoritarian rulers who had clearly falsified the Fall elections.
The size and efficacy of the Orange Revolution, as the protest became known, surprised political observers-and even the participants themselves.
In the aftermath, many observers concluded that civil society, long thought dead in Ukraine, was alive and well.
After the success of the Orange Revolution, it was widely expected that civil society groups would take an increasingly prominent role in Ukrainian politics, reinvigorating democracy.
Yet that influence diminished rapidly, and when the new government also became tainted with corruption, there was no protest or counterattack.
This book explores why the influence of civil society groups waned so quickly. The contributors to this volume probe civil society in Ukraine from a variety of disciplinary perspectives to understand the contest for social mobilization in Ukraine.
The essays provide a wealth of new data based on surveys, interviews, documentary analysis, and ethnography.
