From dealership to leadership : sistema and informal governance -- Conclusion.In this original, bottom-up account of the evolution of contemporary Russia, Alena Ledeneva seeks to reveal how informal power operates. Concentrating on Vladimir Putin's system of governance - referred to as sistema - she identifies four key types of networks: his inner circle, useful friends, core contacts and more diffuse ties and connections. These networks serve sistema but also serve themselves. Reliance on networks enables leaders to mobilise and to control, yet they also lock politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen into informal deals, mediated interests and personalised loyalty. This is the 'modernisation trap of informality': one cannot use the potential of informal networks without triggering their negative long-term consequences for institutional development. Ledeneva's perspective on informal power is based on in-depth interviews with sistema insiders and enhanced by evidence of its workings brought to light in court cases, enabling her to draw broad conclusions about the prospects for Russia's political institutions.Social networksPolitical aspectsRussia (Federation)Power (Social sciences)Russia (Federation)Political cultureRussia (Federation)Social changeRussia (Federation)Russia (Federation)Politics and governmentSocial networksPolitical aspectsPower (Social sciences)Political cultureSocial change303.30947POL040020bisacshLedeneva Alena V.1964-297090UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910810653203321Can Russia modernise1336104UNINA04011nam 22007335 450 991050262410332120251117001939.09783030740924303074092710.1007/978-3-030-74092-4(CKB)4100000012027349(MiAaPQ)EBC6728968(Au-PeEL)EBL6728968(OCoLC)1287135027(DE-He213)978-3-030-74092-4(iGPub)SPNA0083885(EXLCZ)99410000001202734920210916d2021 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe BBC German Service during the Second World War Broadcasting to the Enemy /by Vike Martina Plock1st ed. 2021.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2021.1 online resource (307 pages)Palgrave Studies in the History of the Media,2634-65839783030740917 3030740919 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Speaking with Hitler -- PART I: PROGRAMMES -- 1.

Inhaling English -- Epilogue.This book, part media history and part group biography, tells the story of the BBC's attempts to reach out to listeners in Nazi Germany at a time when Anglo-German relations were particularly strained. Who were the individuals behind the microphone, whose names could only be mentioned in whispered conversations on the continent? Who wrote the satirical sketches that offered comic relief to housewives struggling to obtain enough food to feed their families? And who made decisions about programme delivery and staffing? Drawing extensively on previously unexamined archival material, The BBC German Service during the Second World War: Broadcasting to the Enemy sheds light on the complex, often difficult working arrangements at the wartime BBC where people from different nationalities and socio-political backgrounds collaborated and argued about the delivery of an effective propaganda programme that would assist the Allies in defeating the Nazis.
