In the last decade, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine have undergone dramatic changes, often described as ‘colour’ or ‘electoral’ revolutions: the Rose Revolution in Georgia in 2003; the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004, and the so-called Twitter Revolution in Moldova in 2009. These large-scale mobilization events demonstrated citizens’ demand for change and the inability of the political systems to meet their aspirations.
Join Orysia Lutsevych, 2012 Robert Bosch Fellow at Chatham House, for her talk: How to Finish a Revolution – Civil Society and Democracy in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. Lutsevych will present her findings on civil society and democracy in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. Her findings were published in a Chatham House briefing paper in January 2013.
This event will be held in Ukrainian.
