{"product_id":"against-all-odds-max-bader-9789056296315","title":"Against All Odds: Aiding Political Parties in Georgia and Ukraine","description":"As part of a wider democracy promotion effort, political parties in Georgia and Ukraine, as in most other post-communist states, have received assistance from a number of non-governmental but governmentfunded western organizations for most of the post-communist period. This assistance, however, has persistently failed to contribute to making parties in the two former Soviet republics substantially more stable, democratic, and representative. In searching for an answer to why the assistance has not been more effective, this thesis looks both at the nature of the assistance and the particularities of party politics in Georgia and Ukraine. The thesis argues that, as a consequence of domestic constraints on party development, political parties in Georgia and Ukraine were essentially unsuitable as recipients of party assistance and that, therefore, party assistance was poorly positioned to make an impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Bader\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9056296310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789056296315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.43d","brand":"Max Bader","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136995799295,"sku":"9789056296315","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7868e9c4-1abb-470e-bea3-698ecd2f6d55.jpg?v=1770165844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/against-all-odds-max-bader-9789056296315","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
