Building innovatively on Western social-science theory and on older
models of Soviet politics, the authors review recent changes in the
former USSR in order to assess the prospects there for democratic
pluralism. Chapters focus on the first competitive elections, the
new legislative bodies at state and local levels, and the newly
freed press, exploring the extent to which these institutions can
be described as democratic or pluralistic. Other chapters trace the
complex linkages between a plurality of political-economic
interests-explaining why Russian labor, government, and business
may be moving toward a corporatist coalition and how political
activists' sharply divergent attitudes toward the state and
property keep them from forming a broad-based party. Although it is
difficult in this period of dramatic flux to predict the future,
these thought-provoking analyses will provide a deeper
understanding of the transformations under way and will stimulate
further exploration.
