Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Ukraine?s 2013?2014 Revolution of Dignity, Western attention has focused on conflicts related to the country?s?Europeanization.? A parallel major transformation with little relation to the EU?a far-ranging local governance and territorial reform that Ukraine?s first post-Euromaidan government started in 2014?has received much less attention. It redefines not only Ukrainian center-periphery interactions but also state-society as well as government-citizen relations. This volume presents five research papers on Ukraine?s decentralization, focusing on specific problems as well as repercussions of this multifaceted process and covering issues ranging from fiscal governance to party politics.
