This book examines the economic bases of regional sovereignty
movements in the Russian Federation from 1990-1993. The analysis is
based on an original data set of Russian regional sovereignty
movements and the author employs a variety of methods including
quantitative statistical analysis, as well as qualitative case
studies of Sverdlovsk and Samara oblasts using systematic content
analysis of local newspaper articles. The central finding of the
book is that variation in Russian regional activism is explained
not by differences in economic conditions but by differences in the
construction or imagination of economic interests; to put it in the
language of other contemporary debates, economic advantage and
disadvantage are as imagined as nations. In arguing that regional
economic interests are inter-subjective, contingent, and
institutionally specific, the book addresses a major question in
political economy, namely the origin of economic interests. In
addition, by engaging the nationalism literature, the book expands
the constructivist paradigm to the development of economic
interests.
