When Ukraine became independent in 1991, it inherited an
underdeveloped set of state institutions with which to manage its
transformation to statehood. The task of establishing a legal base
for the operation of the new polity was the responsibility of the
parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, an institution itself undergoing
colossal upheaval. From 1991, it was transformed from a provincial
republican Soviet into the national legislature of a sovereign
state and from a nominal, symbolic body into a genuine legislative
and representative institution. Therefore, the process of building
parliament as an institution has been integral to and part of the
legislature's engagement in the wider state-building process. This
book considers the Rada's development as an essential component of
state-building in Ukraine. It examines internal institutional
change by focusing on the emergence of party caucuses and
transformation of standing committees, and explores the impact of
these changes on the legislative process. This is the first
in-depth study of Ukraine's parliament and is based on extensive
fieldwork inside the Rada. As such, it offers not only an intimate
case study of how institutions change
