For Ukraine, the signing of the Association Agreement and the DCFTA
with the European Union in 2014 was an act of strategic
geopolitical significance. Emblematic of the struggle to replace
the Yanukovych regime at home and to resist attempts by Russia to
deny its 'European choice', the Association Agreement is a defiant
statement of Ukraine's determination to become an independent
democratic state. The purpose of this Handbook is to make the
complex political, economic and legal content of the Association
Agreement readily understandable. This third edition, published
seven years since signature of after entry into force of the
Agreement's implementation is substantially new in content, both
updating how Ukraine has been implementing the Agreement, and
introducing new dimensions (including the Green Deal, the Covid-19
pandemic, cyber security, and gender equality). The Handbook is
also up to date in analysing Ukraine's the development of the
Zelensky administration, with its unfinished agenda for cutting
corruption and reforming the rule of law. Two teams of researchers
from leading independent think tanks, CEPS in Brussels and the
Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) in
Kyiv, collaborated on this project, with the support of the Swedish
International Development Agency (Sida). This Handbook is one of a
trilogy examining similar Association Agreements made by the EU
with Georgia and Moldova.

At a time when many regions of the world, Europe included, see a
resurgence of authoritarianism, several countries in Eastern
Europe: Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and Armenia, are struggling to
counter this trend by developing European-style democracies. In
this second edition, three years after the first, the story of
Eastern Europe's dramatic struggles to achieve properly functioning
democracies and the rule of law rages on, warranting deeper
analysis and substantial updating. Highlights during this period
include the spectacular ascent but questionable achievements of
Vladimir Zelensky in Ukraine, the rise and fall of the pro-Russian
presidency of Igor Dodon in Moldova, the deterioration of Georgia's
democracy under oligarchic state capture, and the advent to power
of Nikol Pashinyan in Armenia, now threatened by defeat in the
second war over Nagorno Karabakh.

At a time when many regions of the world, including Europe, see a
resurgence of authoritarianism, three countries of Eastern Europe -
Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova - are struggling to counter this trend
with the aim of developing European-style democracies in the
framework of their Association Agreements with the European Union.
This book offers an in-depth analysis of this challenge, with
expert contributions on the workings of these countries' democratic
and judicial institutions, their anti-corruption policies and the
hazards they must overcome, including the strong presence of
oligarchs. Other themes include how these countries are adapting to
their precarious geo-political positioning between the EU and
Russia and how the quality of their political and economic
governance compares with the Balkan states. The book complements
three landmark Handbooks (now in their 2nd edition and also
published by Rowman & Littlefield International) explaining the
progress achieved in implementing the comprehensive Association
Agreements that each of these countries has entered into with the
EU. The struggle to advance good democratic governance in these
close neighbours of the EU represents a test case of the highest
strategic significance for both the EU and the three states
themselves. For the most part, the jury is still out over its
outcome.

The signing of the Association Agreement and DCFTA between Ukraine
and the European Union in 2014 was an act of strategic,
geopolitical significance in the history of Ukraine and Europe
itself. Emblematic of a struggle to replace a corrupt,
oligarch-controlled regime at home and to resist attempts by Russia
to deny Ukraine its 'European choice', the Association Agreement is
a defiant statement of the country's determination to become a
democratic, independent state. The purpose of the Handbook is to
make the content of this complex treaty clearly comprehensible. The
first edition of this book has become an acknowledged 'bible' for
all practitioners and scholars engaged in east European affairs.
This second edition carries the story forward, with a systematic
assessment of the achievements and problems that implementation of
the treaty has been witnessing over the subsequent years.
