Russian Transformations Challenging the Global Narrative BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies Series

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : McCann Leo

Couverture de l’ouvrage Russian Transformations
The transition of Russia to a 'developed market economy' has been slower, more contradictory and less predictable than expected. This book examines contemporary Russian socio-economic development, and explores the degree to which Russian experiences can be incorporated into current social science theories. In particular, it questions how far the concept of 'globalization' is applicable to the situation in Russia.
