TODAY AT LUNCH:

The Ukrainian Studies Program at Columbia University will host a lecture by:

ALFRED STEPAN (Wallace Sayre Professor of Government, School of Public 
and International Affairs)

"UKRAINE: AN IMPROBABLE DEMOCRATIC 'NATION STATE' BUT A POSSIBLE 
DEMOCRATIC 'STATE NATION?"

Alfred Stepan and Juan J. Linz are the authors of "Problems of 
Democratic Transitions and Democratic Consolidation: Southern Europe, 
South America and Post-Communist Europe," now translated into around ten 
languages. Their forthcoming book, called "Democracies in Multinational 
Societies: Beyond the Nation-State Model," discusses the concept of a 
state-nation mainly via Spanish, Belgian and Indian materials.

In his lecture, Prof. Stepan will discuss how Ukraine fits into the 
nation-state/state-nation framework.

Professor Stepan was the first Rector of Central European University in 
Budapest, Prague and Warsaw, and the Gladstone Professor at All Souls 
College in Oxford.

WHEN: Thursday, February 23 at 12:00pm
WHERE: Room 1219 (12th floor), International Affairs Building, Columbia 
University (420 W. 118th St.)
