Russia may appear to be "modern," but it has reverted to Muscovite ways
Such a Beautiful Dream
Vladimir the great, Grand Prince of Muscovy
This article draws on the ideas of continuity theory in order to examine Russia's attempted transition and locate it in the longer duration of Russian history. The argument here begins by outlining the main features of the institutional matrix that evolved in old Muscovy, and proceeds to show how those early choices became path dependent. It presents the imperial ‘age of reform' as a project that introduced far reaching formal changes, but failed…

IMAGINE IF YOU WILL that Adam Smith had returned to Moscow in the spring of 1992. Would he then have lectured about how 'the butcher, the brewer and the baker' by acting in their own narrow self-interest would have brought about an optimal and collectively rational outcome?

AT LONG LAST, the summer of 1995 brought the first signs of what may turn out to be a process of recovery in the Russian economy. In June industrial production increased by 2% compared with May. From July onwards, monthly inflation rates fell steadily, reaching a low point of 3.2% in December. The rate of decline in GDP also decreased, from double digits in the years 1992-94 to a fall of merely 4% in 1995. In October the OECD released a study of …
Does Palermo Represent The Future For Moscow
This article addresses and expands on two points made by Robert Putnam in his recent study Making Democracy Work. The first concerns the observation that in order to find the cultural roots of Italian institution building, we may have to go further back in history than the 12th century, where Putnam stopped, and the second relates to the possible implications of this historical approach for the current transformation in the former Soviet bloc. Th…
