Alexandra Hrycak is interested in the development of collective action capacity in postcommunist settings. Her current research focuses on gender and democratization in Ukraine. Since 2001 she has investigated the formation of women's associations in the cities of Lviv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv. In 2005 she conducted interviews and focus groups in these three cities to examine the role women played at the local level in the 2004 elections and the Orange Revolution.
