Russia: The Challenges of Transformation

Possible Futures Series

by Piotr Dutkiewicz (Editor), Dmitri Trenin (Editor)

In Russia, a group of leading Russian intellectuals and social scientists join with top researchers from around the world to examine the social, political, and economic transformation in Russia. This timely and important book of orginal essays makes clear that neither politics nor economics alone holds the key to Russia's future, presenting critical perspectives on challenges facing Russia, both in its domestic policies and in its international relations. It also explores how global order—or disorder—may develop over the coming decades.
Contributors Oleg Atkov, Timothy J. Colton, Georgi Derluguian, Mikhail K. Gorshkov, Leonid Grigoriev, Nur Kirabaev, Andrew C. Kuchins, Bobo Lo, Roderic Lyne, Vladimir Popov, Alexander Rahr, Richard Sakwa, Guzel Ulumbekova, Vladimir I. Yakunin, Rustem Zhangozha.

[GreyAtlas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Excellent book of essays, though each is somewhat blurred and lacks, in my opinion, a strong narrative other than just repeating the "same old, same old".
