Yuliya Yurchenko
I research transnational class formation, modes of accumulation of capital, limits of the possible embedded in them, and avenues of circumventing the latter from transnational historical materialist perspective. My empirical foci are: political economy of Ukraine, shifts in trade regimes (mainly TTIP and TiSA), formation of new ‘virtual spaces’ of accumulation (offshore and onshore), and global networks of policy platforms and lobby groups.

Providing distinctive and unexplored reflections on the origins of the conflict, Yurchenko unpacks the four central myths that underlie Ukraine's post-Soviet reality: the myth of transition, the myth of democracy, the myth of two Ukraines, and the myth of 'the other'. In doing so, she sheds light on the current intensification of class rivalries in Ukraine, the kleptocracy, resource wars and analyses existing and potential dangers of the rightwing shift in Ukraine's polity, stressing a historic opportunity for change.
Critiquing the concept of Ukraine as ‘transition space’, she provides a sweeping analysis which includes the wider neoliberal restructuring of global political economy since the 1970s, with particular focus on Ukraine's relations with the US, the EU and Russia. This is a book for those wanting to understand the current conflict as a dangerous product of neoliberalism, of the empire of capital.

Возьмет ли Британия свой "новый курс" для выхода из петли неолиберальных реформ? У власти пока что консерваторы, но лейбористы и их лидер Джереми Корбин стремительно набирают поддержку. И они знают, что делают. Ликбез по британской политике от PhD экономических наук Юлии Юрченко. Почему иногда лучше вернуться к своим корням, особенно если они социалистические, а не превращаться в "зеркало" для консерваторов в попытках оттянуть электорат.
Many progressive actors have been critical of these developments, both spreading awareness as well as organizing resistance. To support, strengthen, and facilitate the networking of such groups was the explicit goal our discussion on 20 June 2019 and workshop on 21 June. Both raised awareness concerning the growing military dimension of industrial policy.
At the heart of the discussion was a study by Claude Serfati, which is also available in German. Serfati’s study reveals the connections between relationships of power and production, between economic, social, foreign, and “security” policy. Claude is a researcher at Cemotev (Université de Versailles-Saint-Quentin) et IHRES and a peace activist. The Ukrainian-British researcher Yulyia Yurchenko, author of Ukraine and the Empire of Capital. From Marketisation to Armed Conflict and the Greek journalist Apostolis Fotiadis gave comments. All three are partners of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung. The discussion was chaired by Ingar Solty.
