1544bp0134s	Peter J. Baker	The Politics of Taxation and State Building in Ukraine, 882-2004	2010		.txt	text/plain	433	8	-1	This dissertation utilizes an historical-institutionalist framework to expose deep historical continuities and critical junctures in the development of the Ukrainian state through the lens of fiscal policy. The analysis shows that the multiple veto gates generated by Ukraine's electoral system and constitutional system of separation and balance of powers--thereby leading to the emergence of numerous smaller political parties unable to form stable parliamentary majorities, weak party discipline in the policy-making process, and the strong pull of special interests and narrow geographic constituencies--restricted the state executive's ability to centralize fiscal policy making in ways that promote more coherent fiscal policy.	cache/1544bp0134s.txt	txt/1544bp0134s.txt
