Beskrivning
Graeme Gill shows why post-Soviet Russia has failed to achieve the democratic outcome widely expected at the time of the fall of the Soviet Union, instead emerging as an authoritarian polity. He argues that the decisions of dominant elites have been central to the construction of an authoritarian polity, and explains how this occurred in four areas of regime-building: the relationship with the populace, the manipulation of the electoral system, the internal structure of the regime itself, and the way the political elite has been stabilised. Instead of the common 'Yeltsin is a democrat, Putin an autocrat' paradigm, this book shows how Putin built upon the foundations that Yeltsin had laid. It offers a new framework for the study of an authoritarian political system, and is therefore relevant not just to Russia but to many other authoritarian polities.

Recensioner i media

'Theoretically informed and based on the author's intimate knowledge of post-Soviet politics, Graeme Gill's Building an Authoritarian Polity is bound to shape debates over the nature of the regime that is emerging under Putin as well as broader discussions in comparative politics.' M. Steven Fish, University of California, Berkeley
