Abstract

Russia's transition to a market economy has been tortuous to say the least. However, this book argues that the arguments and counter-arguments that pitch shock therapy against gradualism are wide of the mark and quite pointless.Indeed, the reasons for the warped outcomes can actually be traced back through the long sweep of Russian history. Decisions made in the distant past can fully influence policy- making in the present. Hedlund's thesis can, like this, be seen as influenced by the 'path dependency' theories of Paul David among others.

Abstract

De la crise ukrainienne à la guerre en Syrie, de l'ingérence supposée dans les élections américaines au vaccin Spoutnik-V, la Russie est revenue depuis quelques années sur le devant de la scène internationale dans un contexte de refroidissement sans précédent des relations russo-occidentales.Quels sont les ressorts de cette résurgence de la Russie au coeur de la géopolitique mondiale ? Quelle est la stratégie du Kremlin pour consolider les fondements de la puissance russe ? Comment interpréter la réactivation de l'opposition avec l'Occident sur fond de partenariat anti-hégémonique avec une Chine en plein essor ? Et surtout, la Russie a-t-elle encore les moyens économiques et humains de ses ambitions ?Cet ouvrage propose une analyse fine des fondements de la puissance russe contemporaine afin d'évaluer la durabilité et l'ampleur du retour de Moscou sur la scène internationale. 30 ans après l'effondrement de l'URSS, comprendre où en est la Russie aujourd'hui permet également de mieux appréhender les transformations profondes qui affectent l'architecture des relations internationales contemporaines

Abstract

In 2007, Russia’s international investment flows reached record highs, making Russia one of the world’s largest recipients and sources of FDI. Russia's potential for attracting even more international investment can be improved by strengthening beneficial competition and offering additional opportunities for investment.  Disseminating international standard business practices among Russian firms can also boost the country's creditworthiness and reliability as inward and outward investors. Based on the OECD's Policy Framework for Investment, the overview of Russia's energy investment policy identifies different policies critical for coping with the country's huge energy investment needs and sector-specific challenges.

Abstract

"Modernisation has been a constant theme in Russian history at least since Peter the Great launched a series of initiatives aimed at closing the economic, technical and cultural gap between Russia and the more ‘advanced’ countries of Europe. All of the leaders of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia have been intensely aware of this gap, and have pursued a number of strategies, some more successful than others, in order to modernise the country. But it would be wrong to view modernisation as a unilinear process which was the exclusive preserve of the state. Modernisation has had profound effects on Russian society, and the attitudes of different social groups have been crucial to the success and failure of modernisation.This volume examines the broad theme of modernisation in late imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet Russia both through general overviews of particular topics, and specific case studies of modernisation projects and their impact. Modernisation is seen not just as an economic policy, but as a cultural and social phenomenon reflected through such diverse themes as ideology, welfare, education, gender relations, transport, political reform, and the Internet. The result is the most up to date and comprehensive survey of modernisation in Russia available, which highlights both one of the perennial problems and the challenges and prospects for contemporary Russia."

Abstract

Vadim Kufenko provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of various aspects of economic growth and income inequality in the Russian regions using different estimation techniques from the cross-section OLS and logistic models to dynamic panel data system GMM. The general period for the data is 1995-2012. Acknowledging the crucial role of human capital, the author models the brain-drain using game theory and shows that the owners of human capital may have monetary as well as institutional motives. He states that the income gap between the regional elite and the population is a robust positive determinant of the risk of protests. Contents Convergence, Catching Up and Regional Disparities Empirical Analysis of Economic Growth: Cross-Section and Dynamic Panel Data Models Human Capital and the Resource Curse Income Inequality as a Determinant of Protests Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of growth empirics, application of econometric methods and tests in the sphere of growth economics, and in the modern Russian economy Practitioners in these areas The Author Vadim Kufenko is a research assistant at the Department of Economics at University of Hohenheim.  .
