Why M. Saakashvili wants to be more than Prime Minister of Ukraine?

 M. Saakashvili’s aspiration to be “more than Prime Minister of Ukraine” is understandable. If he becomes a symbol of successful anti-corruption reforms in Ukraine, he will be the famous historical figure. Money and power of current Ukrainian oligarchs will vanish away, but the memory of the “person who’s changed the system” will stay forever. Perhaps, people would try to distort the fact by starting criminal investigations, stripping the citizenship (M.Saakashvili has been stripped Georgian citizenship). However, these people will stay in history as reformers, meanwhile the ones who tried to drag their names through the mire will be forgotten.

Essential lessons for Ukraine: Poland and Georgia

           My article devoted to reforms in Ukraine has been published by VoxUkraine, an independent analytical platform. It presents the possible scenario of anti-corruption, public administration and economic reforms using the experience of Ukrainian neighbours. Georgia has shown unpredictable results, initiating core reforms within couple of years, starting 2003. Poland, being on the edge of economic collapse in the 1989, implemented drastic economic reforms called "Shock therapy", which has boost the economic development. One of the key "ingredient" of successful reforms is the strong political will of a government to perform the reforms.
