SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Looks at the process of state-building in Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, and Russia from a political economy and institutional perspective. Explains state weakness and distortions that are widely recognized key obstacles to economic success and democratic consolidation. Focuses on the extraction and expenditure systems which are a central pillar of state capacity and also a central link between citizens and the state. The book also sheds light on how Ukraine's potential 'second transition' currently under way will have an impact on its institutional system.
