Public Administration and DevelopmentSummary: At the time of independence, parliaments in Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union were highly underdeveloped institutions. Since that time, many parliaments have begun the process of building legislative capacity in order to participate more fully in the process of governance. One aspect of building legislative capacity is the internal structure of the parliament. This article examines the internal development of one of these parliaments - the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine - focusing on the legislative process, the budget process, the committee system and faction organization. The article identifies where progress has been made in each of these areas, and points to key aspects that require critical attention in order to ensure future progress. Finally, it discusses how one development project - the Parliamentary Development Project - has used a `comparative action research' approach to aid key decision makers in the Verkhovna Rada in building legislative capacity. - Reproduced
