Read More
Focusing on Russia's political institutions and processes since the end of the Soviet regime, Remington (Emory U.) identifies some of the forces affecting the development of the new system that has come into being, as well as the ways communist-era dynamics are influencing its evolution. The text covers events roughly through the middle of 2000. A central issue is the debate that has taken place in Russia and around the world following the country's economic depression of the 1990s. Remington presents the evidence and arguments about why things have turned out as they have, both economically and socially, and encourages readers to consider what, if anything, Russia's policy makers might have done differently.
