Strategy for survival: problems of legislative and executive power in the field of environmental protection in the Ukraine

Article Abstract:

The policies of openness pursued in the former Soviet Union revealed information about the state of the environment in places like the Ukraine. Conditions were nearly catastrophic because of the Chernobyl disaster and years of mismanagement. Laws were passed to address these issues, but were poorly worded or were unenforceable because of the lack of political will. The Ukraine's Ministry of Environmental Protection intends to implement pollution controls through a variety of methods, and expects aid from the West.
