What threatens the property rights of business owners? And what
makes these rights secure? This book transcends the conventional
diagnosis of the issue in modern developing countries by moving
beyond expropriation by the state ruler or by petty bureaucratic
corruption. It identifies 'agent predation' as a novel threat type,
showing it to be particularly widespread and detrimental. The book
also questions the orthodox prescription: institutionalized state
commitment cannot secure property rights against agent predation.
Instead, this volume argues that business actors can hold the
predatory state agents accountable through firm-level alliances
with foreign actors, labor, and local communities. Beyond securing
ownership, such alliances promote rule of law in a rent-seeking
society. Taking Russia and Ukraine between 2000 and 2012 as its
empirical focus, the book advances these arguments by drawing on
more than 150 qualitative interviews with business owners, policy
makers, and bureaucrats, as well as an original large-N survey of
firms.
