Description

The aim of this course is to study the history, culture, politics and political economy of Europe鈥檚 second-largest country: Ukraine. The course starts with the origins of Ukraine, explores the various attempts at state-building, traces the country鈥檚 changing borders during the twentieth century and covers events in post-Communist Ukraine up to the present day. Particular attention will be paid to the importance of Ukraine鈥檚 location between Russia and the West and to the complex historical interrelationship between Ukraine and Russia.
