A Russian Liberal’s Lament
Russia
Do autocracies tend to govern better than democracies? Will a plainly authoritarian recasting of Russia's political system necessarily lead to a more capable state? Russia's president, Vladimir Putin would have us believe so, but recent events—not to mention the long arc of Russian and Soviet history—suggest a different answer. Putin's claims about what ails Russia are wrong. The culprit behind Russia's ungovernability is not the country's haltin…
Central Governing Incapacity and the Weakness of Political Parties
Political parties can be an important mechanism by which to better integrate states in the developing world. Despite this, in Russia parties continue to penetrate provincial politics only weakly and thus do not help to integrate the state and enhance its abilities to govern in the periphery by extension. Drawing on evidence of weak central-state capacity to govern in the Russian provinces and correspondingly weak political party penetration, emer…
The Limited Reach of Russia's Party System
While Russian political parties appear to be institutionalizing to some degree at the national level, they are surprisingly absent at the regional level. This is a result of the dynamics of Russia's dual economic and political transition. Regional elites prefer a 'partial reform equilibrium' in political institutional development so that they can avoid widening the sphere of accountability for their decisions in order to protect the gains they ha…
Foreign Direct Investment and Democratic Development in the Russian Provinces
Foreign investment in Russia has consistently lagged behind East European countries throughout the last decade. Although formidable obstacles to attracting foreign investment remain throughout the country, some of Russia's 89 provinces have been more successful than others in creating attractive investment environments. One reason for this varied success may be related to the degree of economic and political elite consensus that exists in some re…
Central Weakness and Provincial Autonomy
A specialist on regional politics and center-periphery relations in the Russian Federation examines the process of devolution of authority from Moscow to the regions in the 1990s. A discussion of the process by which federal treaties were negotiated is followed by an examination of types of de facto policy autonomy that have emerged at the regional level by default. Research sources include Russianlanguage documents and interviews with a range of…
