Russian Challenges : Between Freedom and Energy PDF
Edited by Galina Michaleva, Andrey Ryabov
Part of the Interdisciplinary Studies on Central and Eastern Europe series
Description
This book analyses the influence that oil and gas have on various sides of Russia's contemporary internal and foreign policy.
On the one hand, the factor oil and gas enabled the ruling elite to strengthen the state institutions and to stabilize Russia's political and social system after decades of instability.
Relying on the new economic opportunities contributed to the growth of revenues of the mass sections of population, and owing to the increased export of natural fuel resources Russia significantly strengthened its influence on international politics.
But on the other hand, authoritarian tendencies increased in politics.
The contributions of this book inquire into the gradually declining role of independent actors in relation to the government, and the increasing authority of the elites in power who continue to represent their corporate interests as being national ones.
