Objectif
The current situation in the NIS has a strong impact on the role of regions which tend to compensate or even to replace the national state that suffers from weakness and deficient legitimacy. On the other hand, regions in the NIS are still marked by the marginalisation of the former system and have to recreate themselves anew. This project conceives regionalism - in the case of Ukraine - as a complex reaction to concrete local problems, to the crisis of the national state as well as to the question of entry conditions into transnational communities and to the rediscovery and creation of identities.
The research, which is based on a primary survey to be conducted and on existing data about the Ukrainian regional system since the transformation of 1990 and 1991, may give answers to the main regional dynamics and developments during the last five years. Which actors and groups mobilise on what sort of backgrounds for regional autonomy? In what ways are the regions able to cope with such complex problems as large-scale transformations, economic crisis and social tensions? What are the dominant ethnic, economic and sociopolitical factors shaping different regional movements and what kind of potentials and/or conflicts characterise future regional patterns?
