- Abstract
- This essay studies the reasons why and how late lustration is introduced and implemented in post-communist countries.

A qualitative analysis shows that Ukraine had a higher demand for lustration among the public and politicians and also implemented a complete lustration, while Georgia had a lower demand and did not implement a complete lustration. The result is that there is a... (More)

A qualitative analysis shows that Ukraine had a higher demand for lustration among the public and politicians and also implemented a complete lustration, while Georgia had a lower demand and did not implement a complete lustration. The result is that there is a potential causal relationship between the public’s and politicians’ demand for lustration and a complete lustration being introduced and implemented. Demand was assumed to be affected by multiple factors that, if present, increased the demand for lustration which resulted in implementation of a full lustration. The study concludes that late lustrations are introduced and implemented as a result of increased demand by the public and politicians for lustration. (Less)
