THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT, THE VERKHOVNA RADA, SINCE THE FALL OF THE SOVIET UNION. THE EMERGENCE OF A POPULARLY ELECTED LEGISLATURE IN POST-SOVIET UKRAINE STANDS AS A CORNERSTONE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DEMOCRATIC REGIME. WHILE THE VERKHOVNA RADA IS BY NO MEANS A MATURE PARLIAMENT, THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE INSTITUTIONALIZATION HAS BEEN LAID THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A REPRESENTATIVE POLITICAL PROCESS, NASCENT POLITICAL PARTIES, A SEPARATION OF POWERS BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE AND THE LEGISLATURE, AND THE POLICY-MAKING CAPACITY OF THE PARLIAMENT.
