Sommario/riassunto

Exploring Russia's reentry into global capital markets at the dawn of the twenty-first century, 'Global Finance, Local Control' shows how economic integration became deeply entangled with a bare-knuckled struggle for control over the vestiges of the Soviet empire. Igor Logvinenko reveals how the post-communist Russian economy became a full-fledged participant in the international financial sector without significantly improving the local rule of law.
