The Euromaidan's Effect on Civil Society

"It sometimes seems that civil society in Ukraine has already been extensively analyzed. Yet, the exceptional work of Sophie Falsini shows the opposite. It develops new conceptual ideas and links them to an analysis of the question which influence the Euromaidan, the annexation of Crimea, and the war in Eastern Ukraine have had on the development of social capital in Ukraine."--Prof. Dr. Timm Beichelt, European University Viadrina "The analysis done by Sophie Falsini fills a gap in both theoretical and empirical regard. [...] Sophie Falsini's book will prove to be extraordinarily helpful for researchers and practitioners alike who are concerned with the development of civil society and democracy in Ukraine. Further, her study constitutes a sophisticated implementation of the social capital concept to a contemporary political phenomenon, thereby illuminating the analytical power of a strong nexus between civil society theory and aspiring empirical fieldwork. Hopefully, this book will reach a wide audience of social scientists, political analysts, and members and supporters of the 'new' Ukrainian civil society, thereby contributing to a better understanding of a probable new generation of activists and their cooperation patterns."--Dr. Susann Worschech, European University Viadrina
