This study analyzes the reasons for the relative lack of ethnopolitical conflict in Ukraine
after 1989. Starting from the assumption that such confict would have required higher levels of
ethnic group rnobilization, the author utilizes a multifactor model to explain why such
mobilization remained extremely low in rnost cases. She reaches the conclusion that the interplay
of historical and international factors was in large part responsible for the low mobilization
levels.
