Post-Soviet Power tells the story of the Russian electricity system
and examines the politics of its transformation from a ministry to
a market. Susanne A. Wengle shifts our focus away from what has
been at the center of post-Soviet political economy - corruption
and the lack of structural reforms - to draw attention to political
struggles to establish a state with the ability to govern the
economy. She highlights the importance of hands-on economic
planning by authorities - post-Soviet developmentalism - and
details the market mechanisms that have been created. This book
argues that these observations urge us to think of economies and
political authority as mutually constitutive, in Russia and beyond.
Whereas political science often thinks of market arrangements
resulting from political institutions, Russia's marketization
demonstrates that political status is also produced by the market
arrangements that actors create. Taking this reflexivity seriously
suggests a view of economies and markets as constructed and
contingent entities.
