Recenzii
This is a profoundly important contribution to the field of Russian studies likely to influence how we conceive political change in Russia for many years to come.
[Gel'man's] summaries of transitology and Russian political science will be useful to specialists both in Russia and the west, and this is a powerful statement of the need for systematic comparison.
Making and Breaking Democratic Transitions marks a major contribution to the literature on comparative politics from the younger generation of Russian political scientists. An authoritative analysis of developments in Russia?s regions is placed within a refreshingly intelligent new model of regime change. Not only is this a pathbreaking book in the study of post-Communist regimes, and of Russia in particular, but it will interest anyone thinking and writing about transitions?of all kinds....
Making and Breaking Democratic Transitions is required reading for anyone interested in understanding Russia's protracted transition from communist rule. Most importantly, the book deploys the comparative method to discuss the often-neglected regional dimensions of transition. The regional focus makes important insights about transitions in large states that contributes to our more general understanding of democratization beyond the Russian case. It is a serious book by a superb collection of authors that mixes interesting theory and original empirical research.
Vladimir Gel'man and his colleagues add enormous depth to our picture of Russia's troubled transition by systematically comparing dynamics and results across the regions of the country. This study tells us all more, not only about the Russian experience, but about regime change in the contemporary world.
Gel'man tweaks the existing theories to bring them into better line with Russian reality and provides a useful framework for telling the story of political change during the last 15 years. The case studies are the most coherent histories of the regions that have come along yet.
Provides a broadly-structured assessment of the politics of regional regime transformation.
An essential text that aids our understanding both of politics in Russia and the nature of political transitions in general.
Advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and academics will find this to be an essential text that aids our understanding both of politics in Russia and the nature of political transitions in general.
This volume illustrates how the collapse of Soviet communism has unevenly affected the political and social dynamics of six Russian Oblasts (Saratov, Nizhnii Novgorod; Volgograd, Ryazan', Ul'yanovsk, and Tver') and more importantly, how the elite class of each region has managed to deal with (or take advantage of) unique structural conditions and variants of a Soviet legacy.
This book effectively mixes normative assertions with concrete examples to reveal just how complicated the world of post-authoritarian politics is. Gel'man Ryzhenkov and Brie's normatively driven analysis of the Russian transition has wider application as it raises important questions about the hueristic value of the transition paradigm.
