TRAPS OF INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY IN THE SYSTEM OF STATE POWER IN UKRAINE (ANALYTICAL REPORT)

An electronic version of the analytical report “Traps of institutional capacity in the system of state authority in Ukraine” is available on the website of the Institute (in the “Our Publications” section).

The analytical report provides an overview of the institutional capacity of public authorities and local self-government bodies in Ukraine. Based on the research findings, which rely on numerous indices and indicators, legal analysis, sociological surveys, and statistical data, the authors identify “institutional capacity traps” within Ukraine’s state power system. These traps contribute to the underdevelopment of the system of checks and balances and, as a result, lead to the degradation of political accountability, social mobility mechanisms, and hinder the strengthening of public trust in the state.

The report is intended for policymakers, scholars in the fields of public administration, political science, law and sociology, civil servants and local government representatives interested in improving governance efficiency, experts and analysts engaged in civil service reform, as well as students, postgraduate researchers and anyone interested in the development of public institutions in Ukraine.
