The Nationality Policy of Ukraine since 1989 and its Contribution to Ethnic Conflict Regulation

Project Directors Prof. Dr. Egbert Jahn Project Staff Dr. Susan Stewart DFG / MZES-funded 1999 – 2002

Research question/goal:

The project analysed Ukrainian nationality policy since 1989 and attempted to determine the extent to which it has helped regulate ethnic conflict. With the assistance of an ethnic mobilization model the influence of nationality policy on the protest level of four ethnic groups was estimated. Further factors such as the economic situation and group cohesion were included in the analysis in order to assess the relative role of nationality policy.
