Developments in Russian Politics 8 by Stephen White
The ninth iteration of this go-to text offers a comprehensive and critical discussion of the most important developments in Russian politics. Covering key areas in domestic and foreign politics, ranging from established topics such as executive leadership, parties, and elections to newly pertinent issues of nationalism, protest, and Russia’s relations with its neighbours, the book reflects the changing nature of Russian politics in a world defined by ever-shifting balances of power and tensions over globalisation. As well as covering key developments, the contributors – an expert and diverse team from both sides of the Atlantic – address important challenges of interpretation and analysis when it comes to Russia. Perhaps most importantly, the contributors show readers how to analyse Russia as Vladimir Putin continues a presidency marked by volatile relations with Western countries. This textbook has been designed to be accessible to readers studying Russian politics and government at any level, whether as part of a course on Russian politics or comparative politics more generally.
Reviews of previous editions: "Superbly researched and exceedingly well written.. this is a very timely and useful collection suitable for beginners and advanced scholars... a must-have for all those interested in modern Russia; overall an excellent book." - Diana Digol, Europe-Asia Studies "[Like] its predecessors, provides a clear and up-to-date overview of the politics of Russia... This is a very fine collection... The chapters in this book manage to convey the complexity and uncertainty of the current situation in Russia, but in a reasonably illuminating way." - Mike Bowker, Democratization "[A]dmirably accessible... a must-have for all those interested in contemporary Russia... Each of the book's...chapters provides a treasure trove of current data." - John Murray, Political Studies
