This article examines the influence of civil society on Ukrainian anti-corruption policy after the Maidan in 2014. Drawing on the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), we hypothesise that the Maidan events led to a redistribution of formal legal authority in the anti-corruption policy subsystem, opened access to policy venues for civil society actors, and increased leverage of international organisations to push for strict reforms. We test these expectations with a systematic content analysis of primary documents and semi-structured interviews. Findings show that changes in the formal legal authority to make policy decisions led to anti-corruption policy change. The newly adopted policies were largely influenced by civil society actors who had increased venue access after the Maidan. In addition, civil society advocated for strict anti-corruption reforms through international organisation.

Социально-экономический кризис на Украине длится уже давно, что привело к открытому социально-политическому конфликту. Цели постсоветской трансформации не получили одобрения населения Украины, у граждан постоянно возникало чувство разочарования, пропадали доверие к власти и вера в будущее страны. Роль денежных переводов трудовых мигрантов нередко занижают, хотя личное потребление и стабильность в стране во многом связаны именно с ...
