Synopsis

This new text on Russian politics includes unique, comprehensive coverage of other former Soviet countries, giving students an important understanding of the region as a whole.

With unique attention to the successor states of the former Soviet Union, Cichock's book is perfect for those instructors who want their students to study and understand the entire Eurasian region and not just Russia in isolation. More than a decade after the end of the Soviet Union, Russia and Eurasian states remain closely connected to one another and an analysis of the entire region―comparing and contrasting these states―yields valuable insights into modern Russian politics and the Soviet legacy. Unlike other books dealing with post-Soviet Russia, Russian and Eurasian Politics does not emphasize history. Instead, it boldly tries to evaluate politics in five states in the most up-to-date fashion possible, emphasizing political culture and economic development as the primary forces of change. The book focuses on institutional constraints and state-building, constitutions, and the volatile nature of inter-ethnic conflict to describe political systems taking shape before the eyes of the world.
