Ukrainian Nationalism in the 1990s

Meer over het boek

Exploring the dynamics of Ukrainian nationalism, Andrew Wilson analyzes its significant impact on independent Ukraine's politics and the broader Eurasian region. He contends that historical, ethnic, and linguistic elements restrict the reach of ethno-nationalism, even among ethnic Ukrainians. However, its emotional resonance among a minority poses challenges to Ukraine's efforts to establish a civic state. The book presents Ukraine as a compelling example for assessing diverse nation-building strategies in post-Soviet and Eastern European contexts.
