Placing the development of the Soviet and Russian central
governments in theoretical context, this work breaks new ground in
the study of contemporary Russian politics. Iulia Shevchenko's
creative treatment of the principal-agent model offers fresh
insight into the institutional origins of change in government
organization in the communist and post-communist period, from
President Gorbachev to President Putin. She demonstrates that
government organization varies with the extent to which the
principal actors - the president and parliament - are prepared to
empower the cabinet to actively develop rather than just implement
policy. Delegation of broad decision-making powers, which occurs
when the policy environment is highly competitive, is a crucial
factor explaining the uneven dynamics of government development
during this period. The originality of this work, rich with
supporting evidence and empirical data, will ensure that it becomes
the standard source for students and scholars concerned with this
aspect of post-Soviet politics.
