The Strong State in Russia

Development and Crisis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While focusing on contemporary developments of the Russian state, this book highlights those developments' roots in the historic concept of autocracy. The central scholarly question is not whether Russia will recreate a strong state, but, rather, what kind of a strong state it will be and under which circumstances it will function.
