According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, adopted in
1993, local autonomy is one of the fundamental principles of the
constitutional system. The Politics of Local Government in Russia
aims to provide a dedicated and comprehensive discussion of the
pursuit of local self-government in contemporary Russia where
"local" refers to the third tier of government beyond federal and
regional governments. Some of the ablest scholars in the field
focus on the existing institutional and social climate for
municipal and district level government in Russia while placing
recent reforms in a comparative and historical perspective.
The Soviet system has undergone a dramatic transformation: from
communist monopoly to multiparty politics, from marxism to
competing values, from centralisation to fragmentation, and from
state ownership to a mixed economy. This book, by three of the
West's leading scholars of Soviet and post-Soviet affairs, traces
the politics of transition in the late 1980s and early 1990s from
its origins to its uncertain post-communist future. The authors
analyse the full impact of transition on official and popular
values, central and local political institutions, the post-Soviet
republics, the CPSU and the parties which replaced it, and
political communication. Detailed but clearly and accessibly
written, The Politics of Transition provides an ideal guide to the
changes that have been taking place in the politics of the
newly-independent nations that together constitute a sixth of the
world's land surface.
