Post-Revolutionary Reality
Ukraine Needs a Stable Government
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
At the end of September 2007, an early election took place in Ukraine. The election met the standards of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the Council of Europe. The constitution of the parliament and the government as well as the redistribution of financial resources are under-way. Any government will be able to stabilise itself only if it moves the opposition to constructive co-operation. Ukraine urgently needs reforms. The “intensified partnership” with the European Union and Ukraine’s responsibility as a regional power that provides order could serve as anchors of stability. Stability is needed to drive forward the country’s modernisation process.
