Ukraine's Transition to a Stable Democratic Polity
Roundtable V: Ukraine's Transition to a Stable Democratic Polity took place on September 13 and 14, 2004 in Washington, D.C. The forum focused on evaluating Ukraine's movement, from both a domestic and an international perspective, toward implementing the political reforms necessary to achieve the country's ultimate stated goal: membership in NATO and the EU.
