What is it about?
In the contribution, I focus on the politics of constitutional law in Ukraine from after the so called Euromaidan event and up to 2020/2021. The article is centered on recent cases on judicial independence and anti-corruption policy brought before Ukraine’s Constitutional Court, investigating the interplay between the reform impetus coming from international stakeholders, Ukraine’s domestic politics, and the legal response of constitutional justices.

Why is it important?
The interplay between domestic constitutional politics and EU-inspired reforms in Ukraine is a frequently neglected topic in the scholarship. Yet, it is a key topic to understand the political constellation behind constitutional law politics and the way future reforms will proceed when Ukraine finds itself fighting off Russian aggression.
