| How did the Ukrainian oligarchy survive the institutional disruption of the Euromaidan revolt of 2013/2014? How did it manage to continue its extractive political and economic practices, amid deep changes in Ukraineâ s society and polity? To answer these questions, this book analyzes the evolution of the Ukrainian super-rich in 2006-2017, tracing the process of conversion of wealth into political influence through vote-buying in the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) and of the transformation of political influence back into wealth via elite rent-extraction schemes within the Ukrainian gas sector. A key argument is that continuity in informal practices between the Yanukovych and Poroshenko presidencies, and of the networks that conduct them, meant a prolongation of the dominant political economy regime. The study conceptualizes the processes of the recreation of Ukrainian oligarchy as a â currency flow,â or circuit, of wealth and power. It adds to the literature on the dynamics of informally dominated post-communist political economy regimes a detailed, integrated, and internally comparative case study of Ukraine. "This book is ambitious in its scope ... a thoroughgoing empirical study of one of the defining features of politics in Ukraine.â â Dr Sarah Whitmore, Senior Lecturer in Politics, Oxford Brookes University "A successful attempt to combine usage of theories of oligarchy and national prosperity." â Dr Rasmus Nilsson, Lecturer in Russian Politics, SSEES, University College London |
