This book looks at the issue of governance capability in transitional states (state capacity) by using post-communist Russia as an example. It argues that building a state capable of actually governing and implementing policy is a pretty hard thing to do. It is particularly challenging in a country undergoing massive political and economic transitions simultaneously within a geographical territory that spans 11 time zones, contains 89 provinces, and over 120 distinct ethnicities within its borders.
