Cleft Countries: Regional Political Divisions and Cultures in Post-Soviet Ukraine and Moldova (Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society 33) - Softcover
This is the first book to offer a systematic and comparative analysis of
the regional political divisions in post-Soviet Ukraine and Moldova.
The study examines voting behavior and political attitudes in two
groups of regions: those which were under Russian, Ottoman, and
Soviet rule; and those which were under Austro-Hungarian, Polish,
Romanian, and Czechoslovak rule until World War I or World War II.
This book attributes the regional political divisions to the differences
in historical experience. This study helps us to better understand regional
cleavages and conflicts, not only in Ukraine and Moldova, but
also in other cleft countries.

"Katchanovski succeeds in crafting a convincing, well-supported set of arguments. His research constitutes a step forward in dealing with the notoriously thorny concept of political culture."
Thomas E. Rotnem, Political Studies Review
"It [this book] will be of interest to students of the post-Communist states who seek a lucid and readable summary of the main political developments in both states, with a discussion of the historical factors that led to the cleavages still so evident in both of them." Marta Dyczok, Journal of Ukrainian Studies

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -During the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the second largest country in Europe came close to a violent break-up similar to that in neighboring Moldova, which witnessed a violent secession of the Transdniestria region. Numerous elections, including the hotly contested 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine, and surveys of public opinion showed significant regional divisions in these post-Soviet countries. Western parts of Ukraine and Moldova, as well as the Muslim Crimean Tatars, were vocal supporters of independence, nationalist, and pro-Western parties and politicians. In contrast, Eastern regions, as well as the Orthodox Turkic-speaking Gagauz, consistentlyexpressed pro-Russian and pro-Communist political orientations. Which factors historical legacies, religion, economy, ethnicity, or political leader-ship could explain these divisions Why was Ukraine able to avoid a violent break-up, in contrast to Moldova This is the first book to offer a systematic and comparative analysis of the regional political divisions in post-Soviet Ukraine and Moldova.
