Books by Igor Lyubashenko

The book presents the case study of evolution of transitional justice policies designed by Ukraine in the context of the Donbas conflict. It offers a theoretical introduction, discusses the specific context of relevant decisions, and analyses the policies aimed at achieving three normative goals: truth-seeking, retribution, and restoration.

The book focusses on transitional justice policies implemented in Ukraine since the beginning of 2014. The author comes to the conclusion that there is no evidence supporting the thesis that the implementation of these policies provides visible effects in terms of democratisation of the country.

The crisis in Ukraine has revealed a lack of background knowledge about Ukraine among West European politicians, journalists and even academics. For a better understanding of the crisis, this book provides historical and political insights based on reliable Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Turkish sources and interviews with key actors and advisors.
