Political Leadership in Ukraine: The Case of Yulia Tymoshenko

Abstract

The paper comprehensively examines the problem of political leadership on the example of Yulia Tymoshenko. In the course of the work such general scientific methods as analysis, comparison, deduction, and generalization were used, by means of which general conclusions were made. In addition, a behavioral methodological approach was used. Within this methodological direction, we identified the most adequate typologies of political leadership by G. Laswell and Margaret J. Hermann. The concepts of gender flow, androgyny and tokenism were also used. Discourse analysis was used too.
