Sommario/riassunto

The starting point in this discussion on the place and role of United Russia in the political system of the Russian Federation in the years 2001–2016 is the premise that it is a specific party type within the family of authoritarian parties. Its basic characteristics are direct ties with the ruling faction – the real decision-making centre within a particular political system – and a stabilizing influence over an authoritarian regime. This type of authoritarian parties is internally heterogeneous because parties differ in their actual contribution to the stabilization of an authoritarian system and in the degree of their internal and external institutonalisation, mainly with respect to decision-making autonomy and systemic structure. Consequently, two party types can be distinguished: the dominant type and the ruling type. United Russia has not acquired any typical features of a perfect dominant party in the 15 years of its existence. It has definitively come



closer in that period to an ideal type of a ruling party, even though it differed from the ruling parties of the Russian political system in the 1990s. Considering the degree of its institutonalisation and the range of its actual powers, it can be argued that United Russia should be best described as a dominant ruling party.

Sommario/riassunto

This book assesses recent developments in the analysis of agricultural policy and water resource management, and highlights the utility and theoretical rigor of quantitative methods for modeling agricultural production, market dynamics, and natural resource management. In diverse case studies of the intersection between agriculture, environmental quality and natural resource sustainability, the authors analyze economic behavior - both at aggregate as well as at individual agent-level - in order to highlight the practical implications for decision-markers dealing with environmental and agricultural policy. The volume also addresses the challenges of doing robust analysis with limited data, and discusses the appropriate empirical approaches that can be employed. The studies in this book were inspired by the work of Richard E. Howitt, Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of California at Davis, USA, whose career has focused on the application of robust empirical methods to address concrete policy problems. .
