Driving Forces for the Unwanted Reforms: Can the Rent Seekers Curb the Rent Seeking? The Case of Ukraine

The presentation on political-economic mechanisms of reforms under the prevailing rent-seeking, as in the post-Soviet transition (with Ukraine as an example), prepared for the Ronald Coase Institute’s Workshop in Institutional Analysis (Barcelona, Spain, September 2005), and amended with use of the comments and feedback from faculty and participants. Several slides are inserted also in order of making the presentation more understandable for the non-specialists in political economy.rnThe presentations are heavily animated, with animation being essential for understanding of the substance. Please use MS Power Point XP or later versions in the “Slide Show” mode to view them. Please wait after each click until the animation fully stops.
