Conclusions: Institutional Reform And Changes Of Values For The Successful Transformation Of Ukrainian Society

The authors summarize specific features of the transformations in different areas of Ukrainian society and possible ways to achieve successful transformation in the future such as the development of human potential, empowerment of the middle class, restoration of institutional trust, and strengthening of civil control over political parties. The authors also discuss the possible utility of value-mediators that may smooth the transition from Ukrainian to Western values now that increasing shares of the population are opting for the European vector of development over its “competing” Eastern post-Soviet model.
