Ukraine's Opposition Bloc, despite its importance, has attracted little scholarly attention. This study discusses the Opposition Bloc's genesis, internal struggles, and attempts to extend its influence. Although the Opposition Bloc originated from the remnants of the Party of Regions, some deputies from that party distanced themselves from the late leadership of Viktor Yanukovych, a development that led to the emergence of the Opposition Bloc. Additionally, the Opposition Bloc has endured internal party struggles, a development reflected in the party's relationships with its financial patrons. This study also examines the Opposition Bloc's failures to develop its influence in some areas, particularly focusing on the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions.

This chapter explores how cost structures in the unified SoC affects the level of contestation between opponents and the ruling elites. Government–opposition relations in the unified SoC are consistent with the conventional wisdom: As governments become weaker vis-à-vis their opponents, the opposition is more likely to demand reforms. In prolonged economic crises, then, the opposition is increasingly willing to challenge the government as the crises continue. Furthermore, once moderates demand reforms, they remain willing to do so (ceteris paribus) until their demands have been met. Groups with diverse interests thus join together to put pressure on the government.

Significance Pahlavi, the son of the deposed Shah of Iran, is taking advantage of the increasing isolation of Iran from Western governments. However, a coherent opposition grouping that has widespread support in Iran has yet to emerge, despite high-profile media campaigns by Pahlavi and other opposition figures. Impacts The US Republican Party will continue to push the agenda of the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) rather than Pahlavi’s position. The success of Tehran in containing the recent protests will reduce the scope for opposition groups to gain support from Western leaders. Non-Western governments, especially Russia and China, are unlikely to support Iran’s opposition groups.

This chapter discusses the anti-Assad states' support for political opposition groups. It outlines the evolution of the Syrian opposition and charts how the main external supporters contributed to its weakness, particularly Saudi Arabia. Underestimating the Assad regime's durability was a costly error by its international opponents, but as damaging was the overestimation of Syria's opposition and its ability to form a united and effective force. In 2011, the traditional opposition to Assad was weak and fragmented, divided along multiple fault lines; including between insiders and exiles, and between Islamists and secularists. However, foreign states' pursuit of their own agendas combined with a frequent lack of ability actually helped to keep the opposition fragmented and ineffective.

The article interprets the main theoretical analyzes of the political opposition at the level of its definition, place and role in the political process. The main goal of the study is to systematize the main classifications and models of political opposition in the scientific literature and to propose an author's definition of opposition. The ideas of leading scholars of political opposition such as Robert are subjected to analysis and interpretation. Dahl, Gita Ionesco and Isabel de Madariaga, Leonard Shapiro and Rudolf Tökes. Special attention is paid to the different models and types of opposition, as well as to the possible criteria for the classification of the political opposition. Based on the performed analysis, the author makes basic conclusions and generalizations related to the need for future theoretical analyzes and empirical studies of the political opposition.
