The distinguished authors argue that the common denominator has been the absence of a transparent, non-arbitrary, and lawful mechanism for the transfer of political power. Consequently, contenders for leadership have engaged in vicious power struggles followed by pseudo-legitimation of the victor. As Moscow reemerges as a major international actor, its unpredictability domestically triggers after shocks well beyond Russia's borders. Drawing on newly available primary sources, this book provides essential insights for practitioners and students of policy alike.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 163mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 295gRelease Year: 2005 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
