Local Change in the Making in Ukraine

Earlier in 2016, the coherence of Ukraine’s reform efforts seemed in danger of being undermined from within. Constitutional reforms on decentralization had been delayed, threatening the start of local self-government reforms. Now, the opposite seems to hold: dynamic local developments substitute for the uneven reform momentum at the center of national politics.

By far not everything is going well in Ukraine, but local societal and political dynamics are a reason for optimism.
