Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Out of early twentieth-century Russia came the world's first significant effort to build a modern revolutionary society. According to Marxist economist Samir Amin, the great upheaval that once produced the Soviet Union also produced a movement away from capitalism-a long transition that continues today. In seven concise, provocative chapters, Amin deftly examines the trajectory of Russian capitalism, the Bolshevik Revolution, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the possible future of Russia-and, by extension, the future of socialism itself. Amin manages to combine an analysis of class struggle with geopolitics-both crucial to understanding Russia's complex political history. He first looks at the development (or lack thereof) of Russian capitalism. He sees Russia's geopolitical isolation as the reason its capitalist empire developed so differently from Western Europe, and the reason for Russia's perceived 'backwardness'. Yet Russia's unique capitalism proved to be the rich soil in which the Bolsheviks were able to take power, and Amin covers the rise and fall of the revolutionary Soviet system. Finally, in a powerful chapter on Ukraine and the rise of global fascism, Amin lays out the conditions necessary for Russia to recreate itself, and perhaps again move down the long road to socialism. Samir Amin's great achievement in this book is not only to explain Russia's historical tragedies and triumphs, but also to temper our hopes for a quick end to an increasingly insufferable capitalism.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. This book is based on the collection of articles centered around Russia and its policies. The articles are grouped under three parts. The first part contains articles on international relations, Russian foreign policy, and the situation in the world. The main themes they cover include Russian policy in Asia and the Eurasian integration in which Moscow plays the most active role. The second part looks at the theorization of Russia's internal processes, issues concerning reforms to the communist system, its troubled transition from Communism, and analysis of the country's current political regime. While elaborating on various reforms and transition from the communist system, the author has suggested certain alternatives concepts. Many of the articles analyze the shortcomings and inconsistencies of the modern Russian political system. The third part is devoted to current issues in Russian politics, the democratization process, growing authoritarian tendencies, mass protests, and that evaluate the programs and policies of individual leaders. The book will be of interest to those specializing in Russian foreign and domestic policy as well as to all those interested in following the developments of this country, its role in the world, and the global situation in general.

The present study focuses on the ways in which Latvia's transition strategy has been shaped in response to political pressures. Latvian evidence in supposed to give hints regarding the sustainability of a market reform under democracy. The treatment of reform strategies is based on the suggestion that economic theorizing always rests on some underlying values. That is to say, ideology encapsulates not only various political points of view but also economic theories. The liberal economic policies pursued by the subsequent Latvian governments are contrasted with the competing proposals put forth by the political challengers. Despite differences in implementation practices, no significant political force demands the revision of the marketization course. The conspicuous centre-gravitation of the political system has rendered a broad coalition possible, which is essential for guaranteeing effective governance when the parliament is fragmented. -- CONTENTS Part I: The Research Question and Its Foundations: 1 Introduction; 2 The Political Sources of Economic Policy Choices; Part II: Theoretical Underpinnings: 3 Transitional Dilemma; 4 Radical and Gradualist Strategies for Reform; Part III: Setting The Research Task; Part IV: Empirical Case Study: 5 Latvia's Transformation Strategy; 6 Privatization; 7 Economic Programmes of the Political Parties; 8 The Political System and Its Special Features; 9 Ideologization of Economic Policies; 10 The Nationality Question; Part V: Politics Versus Markets?: 11 Political Constraints on Economic Reform; 12 Reflection on the Theoretical Discussion; Notes; Bibliography; List of Interviewees; Index.
