- Abstract
- Regional authority is not always uniformly applied to all territories. How federal governments treat special regions differentiates from how they treat other sub-entities within their jurisdiction. One of the most interesting examples of a special region is Crimea because its story is not connected to just one country, but rather two: Russia and Ukraine. This paper will feature a two-pronged analysis of Crimea and its relationships with the aforementioned countries: first, it will examine late-USSR and post-Soviet history as an explanation for Crimean dependence on its surrounding nations, and secondly, it will analyze governmental institutions in Russia and Ukraine to determine how Crimea fits into each system. This paper will use these findings to elucidate plausible reasons for Crimea’s bid for autonomy, and, subsequently, Russia’s successful annexation of the region.
