Ukraine on Its Way to Europe
The Orange Revolution in November/December 2004 has unambiguously determined the future orientation of Ukraine. Joining the European Union is its top priority. In this volume, Europe is not treated as a geographical or historical term, but as a normative concept which includes respect for human and civil rights, rule of law, division of powers, parliamentary democracy, open and pluralistic society. This publication has two aims: a critical analysis and evaluation of the efforts of Ukraine under President Yushchenko to bring about a change in direction toward a rapprochement to the European Union (2005-2008), and the identification of cultural constants of the Ukrainian society which either hinder or are conducive to the rapprochement.

Congruence in Contact-Induced Language Change
Modern contact linguistics has primarily focused on contact between languages that are genetically unrelated and structurally distant. This compendium of articles looks instead at the effects of pre–existing structural congruency between the affected languages at the time of their initial contact, using the Romance and Slavic languages as examples.

Modals in the Languages of Europe
This book is the first comprehensive survey of modals and modal constructions in the languages of Europe. It is a collaborative effort between scholars from Europe and the United States, stemming from a workshop on Modals in the Languages of Europe in Valencia. The aim of this book is to describe the properties of modals and modal constructions in the European area and to compare the systems in individual languages or language families from an areal and genetic perspective. For the sake of contrast, the book also looks at the expression of modality in some languages just outside of Europe. The book consists of fourteen chapters on modal systems in individual languages or language families, w...
Conflict in Ukraine
Puts the conflict in historical perspective by examining the evolution of the crisis and assessing its implications both for the Crimean peninsula and for Russia's relations with the West more generally. Experts in the international relations of post-Soviet states, political scientists Rajan Menon and Eugene Rumer clearly show what is at stake in Ukraine, explaining the key economic, political, and security challenges and prospects for overcoming them. They also discuss historical precedents, sketch likely outcomes, and propose policies for safeguarding U.S.-Russia relations in the future. [from the publisher].

Die Ukraine: Machtvakuum zwischen Russland und der Europäischen Union
Ungeachtet aller internationalen Proteste wurde am 16. März 2014 ein - verfassungswidriges - Referendum über den Anschluss der Krim an Russland abgehalten, aufgrund dessen die Krim von Russland annektiert wurde. Die weitaus überwiegende Mehrheit der Mitglieder der Vereinten Nationen erkennt die völkerrechtswidrige Eingliederung der Krim in die Russländische Föderation nicht an - mit der Folge, dass die Krim, fast 25 Jahre nach Auflösung der Sowjetunion, auf deren ehemaligem Territorium zu einem neuen "eingefrorenen Konflikt" wird. Doch die Krim ist nicht das eigentliche Ziel der Expansionspoli.
