WOCUP<\/strong> 2024 focused on the role of informal politics, patronal networks, and regime transformation in shaping Ukraine\u2019s democratic future, particularly in the context of the ongoing war. The workshop brought together scholars and practitioners to discuss how Ukraine\u2019s political system has evolved, how patronalism constrains democratic development, and how wartime identity and civic mobilization may enable democratic renewal after victory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        The event featured a lecture by the editors and contributors of Ukraine\u2019s Patronal Democracy and the Russian Invasion, providing an in-depth examination of how Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion has transformed Ukraine\u2019s political system. The speakers examined how wartime solidarity and a strengthened national identity are transforming the country\u2019s democratic prospects. The discussion drew on the book\u2019s analysis of Ukraine\u2019s political-economic trajectory, highlighting how patronal networks and post-communist legacies continue to influence governance. Contributors explored whether the war may open opportunities for anti-patronal reforms, stronger institutions, and a more resilient democracy in the years ahead.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
