Looks at the sources of stability and instability in post-Soviet
authoritarian states through the case study of President
Lukashenka's firm hold on power in Belarus. In particular, it seeks
to understand the role of energy relations, policies, and
discourses in the maintenance of this power. The central empirical
question Balmaceda seeks to answer is what has been the role of
energy policies in the maintenance of Lukashenka's power in
Belarus? In particular, it analyzes the role of energy policies in
the management of Lukashenka's relationship with three
constituencies crucial to his hold on power: Russian actors, the
Belarusian nomenklatura, and the Belarusian electorate. In terms of
foreign relations, the book focuses on the factors explaining
Lukashenka's ability to project Belarus' power in its relationship
with Russia in such a way as to compensate for its objective high
level of dependency, assuring high levels of energy subsidies and
rents continuing well beyond the initial worsening of the
relationship in c. 2004. In terms of domestic relations, Balmaceda
examines Lukashenka's specific use of those energy rents in such a
way as to assure the continuing support of both the Belarusian
nomenklatura and the Belarusian electorate.
