The sea in Russian strategy
It’s déjà vu all over again: Covid-19, the global energy market, and the Russian economy
The COVID-19 pandemic has already disrupted large swathes of the global economy, threatening the growth models of major oil and gas producer countries like Russia. A collapse in oil prices, triggered by the pandemic, once again exposed Russia's enduring susceptibility to sharp falls in oil and gas prices. We argue that this decline in oil prices came at a time when tectonic shifts in global energy markets had already threatened to reduce the valu…
Russia’s Natural Resources in the World Economy: History, review and reassessment
Russia’s role in the global economic system today, and the Soviet Union’s in the past, is dominated by the export of natural resources, particularly oil and gas. The rents earned from these exports are both a source of strength and weakness, as they link the fortunes of Russia’s domestic economy to the volatility of global resource markets. This paper returns to a major research project conducted through the offices of the Association of American…
Russian Rearmament: An Assessment of Defense-Industrial Performance
This article addresses two related questions associated with Russia’s rearmament program (GPV-2020). First, it examines how the Russian defense industry has performed in the first five years of the rearmament program, by presenting data describing the quantity and quality of new arms procurement in Russia. Second, the article considers which factors explain the nature of Russian defense-industrial performance over the past five years, including t…
The Empire Strikes Back: Economic Statecraft and the Securitisation of Political Economy in Russia
This essay considers the impact of economic statecraft, used by both Western countries and Russia in the aftermath of Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March 2014, on political economy in Russia. The first part of the essay assesses the impact that economic statecraft had on the performance of the Russian economy in the period 2014–2015. The second half of the essay considers how economic statecraft has shaped the development of the system of poli…

Economic Modernisation in Russia: The Role of the World Trade Organization
Economic modernisation in Russia will require rapid and sustained productivity growth. The available evidence suggests that a key ingredient of productivity growth is an increase in the intensity of economic competition. This article considers the role that Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) might play in increasing competition in the Russian economy and, in turn, facilitating economic modernisation. It is argued that while …

State Industrial Policy in Russia: The Nanotechnology Industry Like all the other most significant economic powers, Russia has expressed a desire to become a world leader in the nanotechnology industry. Nanotechnology has been elevated to this level because important Russian policy makers want to effect a wider modernization of the Russian economy. The article examines attempts at employing modern industrial policy tools and asks about outcomes a…

Climbing the Ladder? High-Technology Export Performance in Emerging Europe
A British economist examines the development of high-technology industrial exports across the emerging Europe region over the past two decades. After arguing that the development of high-technology capabilities is a key component of economic development, he presents an original index of high-technology industrial export performance that is used to describe patterns of high-technology exports across emerging Europe. When these developments are pla…
Russia’s Accession to the World Trade Organization
Two noted British economists survey a range of issues linked to Russia's forthcoming accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its implications for the Russian economy. They describe the far-reaching commitments Russia has undertaken in the realm of tariffs, non-tariff barriers, and openness to inward investment, identifying factors that tend both to support and challenge realization of these commitments. They follow with a brief histor…
The Determinants of the Economic Crisis in Post-Socialist Europe
After enjoying a period of sustained economic growth that saw the region converge with EU per capita income levels, the global economic crisis caused post-socialist Europe to suffer a larger decline in output during 2008–2009 than any other region in the world. While there was considerable variation in individual countries' experience of the crisis, this article argues that the severity of the crisis can be explained by three key macro-financial …
Financial Constraints on the Modernization of the Russian Economy
A British economist examines the main obstacles to economic modernization in the Russian economy. After arguing that increased investment is required if the Russian economy is to undergo significant modernization, he presents a framework for identifying binding constraints on such investment. A number of popular explanations of Russia's persistent underinvestment are considered, with particular emphasis on financial constraints. Recent Russian go…
The Great Slump of 2008–9 and Ukraine's Integration with the European Union
For a number of years following the Orange revolution of 2004, Ukraine aspired to join the European Union. Although full integration was never a short-term prospect, European integration, through the Association Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, offers considerable benefits to Ukraine. However, the country was severely affected by the Great Slump of 2008–9 in the global economy, and this profoundly negative experience has …

The Structure of Russian Industrial Exports in Comparative Perspective
A British economist presents a comparative study focused on the change in the technological structure of Russia's high- and medium-technology industrial exports. The export profiles of 19 countries in the post-communist region, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe are compared with those of China, India, Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia. Classifying 260 export activities for each of the 24 countries according to the level of technolo…
