Om arrangementet

"War made the state and the state made war", wrote historian Charles Tilly. Does the dictum hold true for Ukraine?


Building up institutions from scratch, booting out crooked judges and officials, preparing for EU membership, all the while fighting an existential struggle for survival? It might seem impossible, but Ukraine might just pull it off.

With a population that is paying dearly for a more democratic and European future, expectations in Ukraine are high. Meanwhile, the need for international support and expertise is urgent and continuing.

To discuss the state and future of governance in Ukraine—and how Norway can contribute—we invite Nobel prize winning Centre for Civil Liberties and leading anti-corruption watchdog Automaidan. To bring a comparative perspective of sustained transformation from another country, Poland, comes Grzegorz Makowski from the Stefan Batory Foundation

Speakers: 

  • Representative from the Centre of Civil Liberties, Ukraine
  • Representative from Automaidan, Ukraine
  • Grzegorz Makowski, Stefan Batory Foundation, Poland

Moderated by the Norwegian Helsinki Committee
