Politics and the Ruling Group in Putin's Russia - (Studies in Central and Eastern Europe) by S White (Hardcover)

About the Book

In this fully revised and updated new edition, leading political scientist Stephen Gill further develops his radical theory of the new world order to argue that as the globalization of power intensifies, so too do globalized forms of resistance. Including two new chapters, this widely adopted text offers alternatives to the current world order.

Book Synopsis

There is little consensus about the nature of the political system that has emerged during the Putin presidency. This collection considers the issues arising in this connection, focusing more closely on institutions such as the presidency and the security police, and on the socioeconomic dimensions of political power.

Review Quotes

'The book is sure to be the standard history of the Yukos affair and as a result will be a major text on the development of Russia's politics and political economy for some time to come.'
