Authoritarian Russia has adopted five strategies to preserve the
Kremlin's political power: insulate, bolster, subvert, redefine and
coordinate. Thomas Ambrosio examines each of these in turn, all of
which seek to counter or undermine regional democratic trends both
at home and throughout the former Soviet Union. Policies such as
these are of great concern to the growing literature on how
autocratic regimes are becoming more active in their resistance to
democracy. Through detailed case studies of each strategy, this
book makes significant contributions to our understandings of
Russian domestic and foreign policies, democratization theory and
the policy challenges associated with democracy promotion.
