This book argues that Putin's strategy for rebuilding the state was
fundamentally flawed. Taylor demonstrates that a disregard for the
way state officials behave toward citizens - state quality - had a
negative impact on what the state could do - state capacity.
Focusing on those organizations that control state coercion, what
Russians call the 'power ministries', Taylor shows that many of the
weaknesses of the Russian state that existed under Boris Yeltsin
persisted under Putin. Drawing on extensive field research and
interviews, as well as a wide range of comparative data, the book
reveals the practices and norms that guide the behavior of Russian
power ministry officials (the so-called siloviki), especially law
enforcement personnel. By examining siloviki behavior from the
Kremlin down to the street level, State Building in Putin's Russia
uncovers the who, where and how of Russian state building after
communism.
