Axel Siedenberg, Lutz Hoffmann 1 The specificity of transformation in Ukraine When the Soviet empire collapsed in the very early 1990s, the new era that dawned was commonly given the name ''transformation'', implying the systemic change from socialism towards some form of market economy. Almost ten years later, ''the'' transformation process does not exist any more; instead, a whole variety of transformations are taking place in Eastern Europe and the CIS: Whereas some countries are heading towards EU membership (e. g. Poland), others are still pondering on what economic system to adopt (e. g. Russia) and yet others have rejected a market-oriented transformation outright (e. g. Belarus). Within this variety of transformations, Ukraine clearly stands out as a specific case: Whilst initially considered to be one of the stronger post-Soviet Republics, it descended into economic depression in 1992 and has hardly recovered since; on the other hand, once considered to be a potential centre of ethnic unrest and political instability, it has turned into a democratic, peaceful civil society that is firmly establishing itself within the new European and world order. This book takes a critical look at economic reform in Ukraine as compared to other East European and CIS countries. Our hypothesis is that Ukraine is going through a transformation process peculiar to itself, which can be traced at both macroeconomic and microeconomic level.

The book reviews economic reforms in Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the beginnings of transformation in 1991, and compares them with the experience of other transformation countries. It provides a full-fledged discussion of the transformation process, organised in five independent parts: (i) macroeconomic stabilisation and growth; (ii) institutional conditions for systemic change; (iii) reforms of the financial sector and the banking system; (iv) reform of the agriculture and food processing sectors; (v) energy sector reform. The approach of the authors is empirical, providing insiders' understanding and evaluation of the reform process. A diversity of authors is represented, ranging form policymakers to policy analysts, and from industrialists to researchers. While addressing specific questions from specialists in the field, all texts are easily readable in non-technical format.
