The 2020 regional elections in Ukraine: Simultaneously nationalized and regionalized
ABSTRACT
The election report explains the extent to which the 2020 regional contests were nationalized and regionalized. In 2020, turnout declined in each region, when compared to electoral participation in the 2019 parliamentary elections. The ruling party heavily underperformed, while parties in opposition enhanced their electoral performance. At the same time, the electoral scores of NSWPs in five regional councils were close to or above 30%. The comparative analysis of the 2020 regional elections with the previous regional contests reveals that the former demonstrates the most severe effects associated with both nationalization and regionalization. Nationalization of the 2020 regional elections is explained by weak regional authority, the decline of Ukraine’s regional diversity, and the de facto strengthening of the president’s powers, while regionalization of the 2020 regional contests is ascribed to the combination of non-simultaneity with national elections, simultaneity with local elections within the region, and decentralization to local government.
期刊介绍：
The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
