This dissertation investigates the political socialization of Russian and Ukrainian elites. Its origin is found in the observation that in the nearly fifteen years since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russian and Ukrainian relations are not as fruitful as might be expected of two closely related democracies. Why not? It may be that their political socialization, particularly that gained at the university level, has components that inhibit better relations.

520 $a This dissertation investigates the political socialization of Russian and Ukrainian elites. Its origin is found in the observation that in the nearly fifteen years since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russian and Ukrainian relations are not as fruitful as might be expected of two closely related democracies. Why not? It may be that their political socialization, particularly that gained at the university level, has components that inhibit better relations.
520 $a Current explanations of those poor relations are inadequate. Other avenues of investigation ought to be explored. Elites lead societies; those involved with foreign affairs have the most exposure to foreign elites. The political elites have had since Gorbachev's administration to become acquainted with democratic theories. They must be fully aware of the economic advantages of cooperative behavior among democracies. A comparison of the university-level political socialization of Russian and Ukrainian elite replacements compared with that of those replacements from mature Western democracies may provide insights.
520 $a The research is an investigation of what those elite replacements study about three concepts related to democracy and cooperative behavior. While the overt curriculum is thought to be significant, the hidden curriculum is not ignored. A historical investigation is undertaken to find prominent and consistent threads of what students learn from their academic environment.
520 $a I selected syllabi from a number of prominent universities of Russia, Ukraine, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States which provide recruits to the respective Ministries of Foreign Affairs. I then extracted the required readings from those syllabi for comparison. Based on the small correlation I found among those readings, I selected a number of required readings or similar materials from required authors and performed a content analysis. Taking from Rokeach, I approached the concepts with questions about their openness, flexibility and abstractness as the various authors presented them.
520 $a This dissertation is admittedly eclectic and exploratory. The difficulties of conducting research in Russia and Ukraine are highlights; a significant point is that the social sciences need exploratory research in transitional societies as much or more than explanatory research. An appendix is included that discusses some validity issues of research recently conducted in Russia.
