Borisov, N. A. Constitutional Alternatives of the
Ukraine: Back to the Future?
Abstract:
The article analyzes the draft constitutions of
the Ukraine proposed by the President V. Yushchenko and the Party of Regions in 2009 from the point of view
of the presidential and parliamentarian forms of government.
Noteworthy that both of the drafts suggested an
approach to a parliamentarian semi-presidential republic
with balanced powers of the president and the parliament.
However, these draft constitutions were only a
part of the election campaign for both political forces.
After the presidential election in 2010 the Constitutional
Court repealed the constitutional reform of 2004 and V.
Yanukovych recovered all significant presidential powers.
Nevertheless, the author concludes that the process
of reformation of the Ukraine Constitution was not over
at that stage. According to the author, the Ukraine will
eventually come back to a semi-presidential constitutional
model due to peculiarities of the Ukraine political elite
and party system.
