Western assistance should primarily serve in an advisory role to stabilize the Ukrainian government, establish a viable rule of law, rudimentary representative government, and a system to protect individual and investment capital followed by direct investment and joint economic ventures with Ukrainian companies. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This paper proposes a sequentially phased transformation model which encourages Ukraine's leaders to concentrate their efforts on first building a stable government, although not necessarily a democracy, and then focus on meaningful economic reforms to establish a solid economy with free market principles. In the long term, free-market economic principles will undermine an authoritarian government and foster the introduction of a democratic government. Current Western efforts supporting simultaneous political and economic reform are inconsistent with Ukraine's cultural and historical past and undermine democratic and economic reform.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioscholar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573111341207,"sku":"9781288302154","price":5091.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781288302154.webp?v=1774891986","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/democratic-reform-in-ukraine-does-western-policy-undermine-the-chances-for-success-9781288302154","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
