About this book
Reviews
“The volume edited by Resende, Budrytė and Buhari-Gulmez usefully shifts the focus in the discussion of 'the Ukraine crisis' to the concept of crisis as such. The case studies demonstrate how much is gained by working with poststructuralist concepts while performing thick, concrete analysis of crisis and political change.” (Viacheslav Morozov, Professor of EU-Russia Studies at the University of Tartu, Chairman of the Council of the UT Centre for EU-Russia Studies, Estonia)
“This riveting volume focuses our attention on crisis and a very dynamic understanding of agency in global politics. Because the chapters focus on the case of Ukraine in the post-Cold War era (and within that, the 2010s), the result is a rare accomplishment of a volume with equally theoretically sophisticated and intellectually comprehensive contributions. Yet all, nevertheless, consistently speak to the same concept of crisis. Contributions are also incredibly accessible and tangible for readers approaching the volume for a number of purposes –as students, researchers, and/or practitioners. This book will energize the already urgent discourses in IR on identity, narrative, ontological (in)security, the politics of historical memory, trauma, and gender, and serve as a model collective set of case studies on Ukraine and the post-Soviet space.” (Brent J. Steele, Francis D. Wormuth Presidential Chair, Director of Graduate Studies, Political Science Department, University of Utah, USA)
“Crisis and Change in Post-Cold War Global Politics: Ukraine in a Comparative Perspective is a penetrating study of the global dynamic with a sharp analytical eye on Ukraine. It’s theoretically compelling and rich in empirical detail. The book deals with the wide range of issues which are topical both analytically and politically. This volume will surely become a must read for every student of IR and comparative politics.” (Pavlo Kutuev, Professor and Chair of the Sociology Department, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Ukraine)
