Subnational political units are growing in influence in national
and international affairs, drawing increasing scholarly attention
to politics beyond national capitals. In this book, leading Russian
and Western political scientists contribute to debates in
comparative politics by examining Russia's subnational politics.
Beginning with a chapter that reviews major debates in theory and
method, this book continues to examine Russia's 83 regions,
exploring a wide range of topics including the nature and stability
of authoritarian regimes, federal politics, political parties,
ethnic conflict, governance and inequality in a comparative
perspective. Providing both qualitative and quantitative data from
20 years of original research, the book draws on elite interaction,
public opinion and the role of institutions regionally in the
post-Soviet years. The regions vary on a number of theoretically
interesting dimensions while their federal membership provides
control for other dimensions that are challenging for globally
comparative studies. The authors demonstrate the utility of
subnational analyses and show how regional research can help answer
a variety of political questions, providing evidence from Russia
that can be used by specialists on other large countries or world
regions in cross-national scholarship. Situated within broader
theoretical and methodological political science debates, this book
will be of interest to students and scholars of Russian politics,
comparative politics, regionalism and subnational politics.
