De-oligarchisation

These questions shift the perspective from destruction ("fight" against corruption, de-oligarchisation, punishment and control) to construction (institutional design, generation and communication of interests, raising bottom-up social movements and political parties, creating open-access order). They can open new discussions, generate new ideas and disrupt the hopeless discourse of political corruption in Ukraine.

De-oligarchisation depends on the de-politicisation of specific state institutions, the effective fighting against corruption, and the de-monopolisation of the media and key economic sectors. This will determine the success of the modernisation and building-up of democratic institutions in these countries.
