COURSE DESCRIPTION
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the transformations
that took place in Ukraine after 1991 from various perspectives (political,
economic, social, cultural). Additionally the course provides participants
with a general idea of 'post-soviet society', its main features and
development dynamics, thus establishing a necessary framework for
understanding other societies of this type. The course includes an overview
of Ukraine's 20th century history, and contextual background for analyzing
the country's place in the international arena at the beginning of the 21st
century.
The course is interdisciplinary, and includes four sections: History,
Politics, Society/Culture, and Economics (see the table below).
Students will acquire theoretical knowledge that will be enhanced during
study trips and practical cases.
