No sector has been as vital as oil to the Russian economy since
Vladimir Putin came to power. The longest serving leader since
Stalin, Putin has presided during a period of relative economic
prosperity driven largely by booming oil windfalls. Oil in Putin's
Russia offers an in-depth examination of the contests over
windfalls drawn from the oil sector. Examining how the Russian
leadership has guided the process of distributing these windfalls,
Adnan Vatansever explores the causes behind key policy continuities
and policy reversals during Putin's tenure. The product of over ten
years of research, including interviews with decision-makers and
oil industry officials, Oil in Putin's Russia takes an innovative
approach to understanding the contested nature of resource rents
and the policy processes that determine how they are allocated. In
so doing, it offers a comprehensive and timely account of politics
and policy in contemporary Russia, and a significant contribution
to research on the political economy of resource rents in mineral
resource-rich countries.
