Ukrainian Nationalism in the 1990s

More about the book

Exploring Ukrainian nationalism, the book delves into its impact on Ukraine's politics and the broader Eurasian region. Andrew Wilson argues that historical, ethnic, and linguistic factors restrict the appeal of ethno-nationalism, even among ethnic Ukrainians. However, a minority's strong emotional connection to ethno-nationalism poses challenges to Ukraine's efforts in building an inclusive civic state. This situation makes Ukraine a compelling case study for alternative nation-building strategies in post-Soviet and Eastern European contexts.
