| Abstract
|
:
|
"Using original and unusual data, this book uses post-communist Russia as a case in examining what the author calls a broader "weak state syndrome" in many developing countries. More specifically, the book looks at how and why the policies of the Russian central state, despite the size and formally pervasive presence of federal bureaucracy, often had little impact in the sprawling Russian provinces. Through interviews with more than 800 Russian bureaucrats in 72 of Russia's 89 provinces and a fresh set of data on patterns of regional government noncompliance with federal law and policy, the book demonstrates that resistance to Russian central authority was not ethnically based (as others have argued) as much as generated by the will of powerful and wealthy regional political and economic actors seeking to protect assets that they had acquired through Russia's troubled transition from communism."--Jacket.
