Ukraine Maps
This series of maps for the oblasts and constituencies
of Ukraine have been developed in connection with a project funded by the
Geography and Regional Science Program of the National Science Foundation,
titled "The Transition to Democracy in Ukraine." The maps show the distribution
of the support for candidates for the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) of Ukraine
in the 1994-1996 elections, by the 450 constituencies and 26 oblasts.
A second series of maps shows the distribution of the voting behavior of
the Rada deputies on issues of economic and political change in 1995-1996.
A related paper is John O'Loughlin
and James E. Bell "The political geography of civic engagement
in Ukraine, 1994-1998"
Post-Soviet Geography and Economics 40 (1999), 233-265.
