"After the collapse of three socialist federations in Eastern Europe, the expression ‘nation-building’ returned
to the heart of academic debates. Like other former socialist republics, Ukraine has started its nationbuilding
project trying to balance between a limitation of centrifugal forces and the ‘nationalisation’
(Brubaker 1994) of the state. This article examines the main features of language policies within the
Ukrainian nation-building project and adopts a dual approach. It fi rst surveys the political will that
has been incarnated in language policies since 1991, and how national identity has been aff ected by
those policies. However, it counterpoises this approach with an analysis of bottom actors and their
attitude towards language policies. The framework constructed is intended to question the idea that
nation-building is mainly an elite driven process and to suggest that common people can participate in
a political project by renegotiating its features at the local level." (author's abstract)... weniger
