"This book redresses the continuing dearth of information on the country. Aimed at nonspecialists and specialists alike, it presents an overview of the main political, economic, foreign policy, social and cultural issues facing the new state and places them within their historical, regional and global framework. In contrast with the generally bleak picture that international media reports present, the book suggests that Ukraine has actually accomplished a great deal in a short time. In seven years, from 1991 to 1998, Ukraine went from being a little known nation within a nondemocratic state to an internationally recognized independent country. In the process of doing so, it contributed to the geopolitical shift which occurred with the implosion of the Soviet Union. As such, it may be argued, Ukraine has a role to play in the development of the new international order."--BOOK JACKET.
