Has the Russian state managed to lay the institutional groundwork
for long-term stability and democratic governance? In "Building the
Russian State," Valerie Sperling assembles a group of cutting-edge
scholars to critically assess the crises in Russia's transitional
institutions. Part I of the book shows that Russia's political
elites are less focused on serving public interests than on
enriching themselves, and examines how these elites are ruling
Russia. Part II focuses on the growth of organized crime, the decay
of the military, the precariousness of the Russian Federation, the
weakness of the labor movement, the corruption of the courts, the
challenges facing international reformers, and the authoritarianism
of the super-presidential political system. By focusing on the
challenges, failures, and occasional successes of the Russian
political system, this volume offers upper-level undergraduates and
other scholars valuable insight into post-Soviet politics,
state-building, and transitions to democracy.
