| Title | The Role of Political Actors in Institutional Evolution during Constitution Making: the Case of Ukraine |
| Summary | The goal of this thesis is to determine whether the constellation of political actors has an impact on distribution of powers through constitution making between legislative and executive bracnhes. More precisely, it analyses an idea found in the specialised literature that the consensus-based constitutional arrangements tend to be more stable than the conflict based ones. Because the theoretical framework for the analysis of constitution making requires deep contextual knowledge, I chose the case study research design. Since the research is carried out within the democratisation in the post-Soviet European space, I chose the representative case-study of Ukriane and applied qualitative methods (discourse analysis, content-analysis, ans expert-nalysis). The findings show that the constitutional arrangements adopted under the condition of conflict between the main political actors are subject for further revision. |
