Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book provides a balanced and comprehensive overview of the geographical, historical, political, cultural, and geostrategic factors that drive Russia today. Russia has long inspired fear in the West, but as the authors argue, Russia is fearful as well. Three decades after the transformations launched by perestroika, multiple ghosts haunt both Russian elites and ordinary citizens, ranging from concerns about territorial challenges, societal transformations, and economic decline to worries about the country’s vulnerability to external intervention. Faced with a West that emerged victorious from the Cold War, a shockingly dynamic China, and former Soviet republics claiming their right to emancipate themselves from Moscow’s stranglehold, Russia is constantly questioning its identity, its development path, and its role on the international scene. The country hesitates between two strategies: take refuge in a new isolation and revive the old notion of being a “besieged fortress,” or replay the messianic myth of a Third Rome, the last bastion of Christian values in the face of a decadent West. Explaining Russia’s perspective, Marlene Laruelle and Jean Radvanyi offers a much-needed analysis that will help readers understand how the country deals with its domestic issues and how these influence Russian foreign policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reporting the findings of a joint Swedish-Russian research project, economists overview Russia's regional development during the entire Soviet period, and analyze the array of regional problems facing Russia at the birth of the 21st century. For the Soviet period they reveal that the development of heavy industry actually reduced regional inequalities, but that disparities widened as the economy diversified, and that the science of regional planning never achieved practical application during a regime of central planning. Among the important factors contributing to cohesion and disintegration in Russia today, they cite ethnicity, religion, and Russian nationalism.

Download or read book Challenges for Russian Economic Reform written by Alan Smith and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to a market economy proves to be far more difficult in Russia than in the former centrally planned economies of eastern Europe. The Russian economy continues to face serious problems, including substantial inflationary pressures, falling output, and capital flight. The most positive aspect of the transition has been the relatively fast pace of privatization. Challenges for Russian Economic Reform contains papers published by the post-Soviet Business Forum at the Royal Institute of International Affairs that have been revised for this volume. The contributers, specalists in Russian economic affairs, examine the principal economic and institutional factors that have hindered transformation in Russia. The sheer size of the country has complicated the problem of exposing domestic producers to foreign competition and has weakened the ability of central authorities to control the regions. Economic stabilization has been hampered by the difficulties in establishing sound economic relations with the former Soviet republics. David Dyker and Michael Barrow analyze the problems of monopoly and competition policy in Russia. Philip Hanson assesses the obstacles to economic stabilization posed by regional economic interests and examines regional diversity in reform implementation. Michael Kaser examines the problems of privatization by regions and sectors in Russia and the CIS and the institutional obstacles encountered by foreign investors. Alan Smith explores the problems created by the breakup of traditional trade and payment relations with the non-Russian republics of the former Soviet Union and bilateral trade links with Eastern Europe. He also provides an overall assessment of Russian economic performance since the collapse of communism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper looks at the transformation of intergovernment fiscal relations from the point of view of a regional administration in Russia. It also describes changes in local fiscal management. The Yaroslavl region faces a set of budgetary problems typical for Russian regions in the transition, ranging from budget preparation and managements, scale of extrabudgetary financing and expenditure verification. The paper shows what the actual priorities of regional government policy are, how these priorities are determined and through which channels and mechanisms they are implemented. Between 1990 and 1993, the manner in which the oblast's budget was prepared, approved, and implemented changed considerably, as did the relationship between the oblast and the federal authorities. However, many vestiges of the former system remain. The central government still exerts control over some aspects of the regional budgets, and oblast, city and rayon budgets are not fully separated. But decentralization is proceeding at a brisk pace, faster than the federal authorities can codify the rules for the game. The resulting uncertainty sets the stage for bargaining with the central government and rent-seeking behavior on the part of the region. The allocation of expenditures between federal and regional governments continues to be a very murky process, particularly with respect to the so-called 'national economy' expenditure terms, which include expenditures on industry, agriculture, transport, and other infrastructure. The shift in expenditure responsibility in the social areas, however, has been consistent almost all such responsibilities have been devolved down to the regions, cities and rayons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the Russian government has embarked on an ambitious program of economic development in the Russian Far East (RFE), envisioning the transformation of the region into a hub for trade with the Asia Pacific. This paper explores the extent of RFE's trade integration with both key partners around the world and the rest of Russia. In particular, we calculate the region's trade potential on the basis of mean predicted values from a gravity model using three samples that offer different perspectives. Actual trade flows are then evaluated relative to the potential and the resulting index is analyzed for various years and countries. The results suggest that RFE exports to Northeast Asia have intensified over the period 2008-17, allowing the region to surpass its potential, although there is room to grow with respect to China. Moreover, the deepening integration with the Asia Pacific has been achieved at the expense of trade links with the rest of Russia. Lastly, imports from Japan and Korea are shown to be far below potential, although these two countries could be useful in promoting the economic development of RFE.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Balancing out uneven regional development and territorial disparities is an urgent task. Solving it requires considering the geo-economic features of various parts of Russia's spatially structured territory. This study aims to describe trends in the economic space transformation and structural changes in the economies of the North-Western Federal District. Exploring the economic space transformation, the paper draws on economic theory and geography, the concepts of cluster and power generation cycles, regional economics and other theories. It presents the results of the institutional and economic research of income capitalization and the role of the institutional factor, along with regional gross value added (GVA) analysis by activity types. The study investigates the movement of capital (rent) in the economic space. There are several noticeable trends: the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions, the Komi and Karelia Republics have diversified their economies by developing manufacturing

Book excerpt: This book focuses on the evolution of federalism and intragovernmental relations in Russia for the period 1992-95 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Its main question is whether under conditions of democratisation and marketisation in Russia an authoritarian approach of 'transformation from above' is more favourable to one of granting more autonomy to local governments. The author suggests a scale of various reform implementation policies based on two pioneering case studies of Russian provinces.
Download or read book The Transformation of Urban Space in Post Soviet Russia written by Isolde Brade and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since 1989, the societies of Russia and Eastern Europe have undergone a remarkable transformation from socialism to democracy and free market capitalism. Making an important contribution to the theoretical literature of urbanism and post-communist transition, this significant book considers the change in the spatial structure of post-Soviet urban spaces since the period of transition began. It argues that the era of transformation can be considered as largely complete, and that this has given way to a new stage of development as part of the global urban and economic system: post-transformation. The authors examine the modern trends in the urban development of western and post-socialist countries, and explore the theories of the transformation and post-transformation of urban space. Providing a wealth of detailed qualitative research on the Russian city of St. Petersburg, the study examines the changing structure of its retail trade and services sector. Overall, this book is an important step forward in the study of the spatial dynamics of urban transformation in the former communist world.
