Now  its borders are threatened and the civil unrest and armed conflict continue to destabilise the country. In order to understand these dramatic events  Yuliya Yurchenko looks to the countrys post-Soviet past in this ambitious analysis of contemporary Ukrainian political economy.  Providing distinctive and unexplored reflections on the origins of the conflict  Yurchenko unpacks the four central myths that underlie Ukraines post-Soviet reality: the myth of transition  the myth of democracy  the myth of two Ukraines  and the myth of the other. In doing so  she sheds light on the current intensification of class rivalries in Ukraine  the kleptocracy  resource wars and analyses existing and potential dangers of the rightwing shift in Ukraines polity  stressing a historic opportunity for change.  Critiquing the concept of Ukraine as transition space  she provides a sweeping analysis which includes the wider neoliberal restructuring of global political economy since the 1970s  with particular focus on Ukraines relations with the US  the EU and Russia. This is a book for those wanting to understand the current conflict as a dangerous product of neoliberalism  of the empire of capital.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651922157621,"sku":"ByrdShop_0745337376","price":35.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780745337371.jpg?v=1781845390","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ukraine-and-the-empire-of-capital-from-marketisation-to-armed-conflict-9780745337371","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
