Ukraine gained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. In the decades between the end of the cold war and the crisis of 2014, the country suffered a large decline in agricultural and industrial production, plunging economic indicators into a sharp decline and leading to large-scale poverty and hardship.

This collection by leading scholars from the region explores the various crises affecting Ukraine since independence. Valuable crisis management research is made available from both Russian and Ukrainian sources and the on-going crisis in Ukraine put in context and analysed.

This accessible volume interacts with many disciplines including political science, security studies, crisis management and communication studies; and should prove useful to both students and researchers.

Mykola Kapitonenko is an Associate Professor at the Institute of International Relations of Kyiv National Shevchenko University. Viktor Lavrenyuk is the Cofounder and Director of the Centre for International Studies, a Ukrainian policy research NGO. Erik Vlaeminck is a PhD candidate in Russian at the University of Edinburgh. Greg Simons is an Associate Professor in Political Science at Uppsala University, Sweden.
