Simon Kordonsky

Socio-Economic Foundations of the Russian Post-Soviet Regime (eBook, ePUB)

The Resource-Based Economy and Estate-Based Social Structure of Contemporary Russia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Simon Kordonsky divides the social structure of contemporary Russia into distinct estates or social groups and describes each organization's unique resource-based political and economic nature. As he guides readers through Russia's peculiar service and support estate system, Kordonsky reveals how remarkably effective inventing and institutionalizing threats can be in the distribution of scarce resources in a social system of this kind. His book emphasizes the fundamental differences between resource-based economies and traditional risk-based economies and their role in Russia's future.

Simon Kordonsky. Foreword by Svetlana Barsukova

Rezensionen

"[...] the book is an excellent English introduction and summary of Kordonsky's recent research, which is itself an indispensable contribution to the political economy of post-communism. The major strength of this book is the way it forces the reader to consider the path-dependent relationship between group-based entitlements in the Soviet period and the current system." - Europe-Asia Studies, issue 70/7, 2018
