Democratization in Ukraine, Georgia, and Belarus Success, Stagnation, and Context

Nations democratize at a different pace: some achieve high governance standards, lasting political stability, and robust economies; others are lingering in their desires to look and act like their democratic counterparts. While no country strictly follows similar patterns of democratic institutionalization, there is a variable that defines the rate of success of their efforts: their political culture. This book discusses the democratization in Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus.
