Professor Yekelchik examines Ukraine's recent civic revolution and the conflict's crucial international dimension. The 2013-14 Ukrainian revolution presented authoritarian powers in Russia with both a democratic and a geopolitical challenge. In reality, the political conflict in Ukraine is reflective of global discord, stemming from differing views on state power, civil society, and democracy.
