How is it that a political order, born of revolution, perished from stagnation? What caused a seemingly stable polity to collapse? Philip Roeder finds the answer to these questions in the Bolshevik "constitution"--the fundamental rules of the Soviet system that evolved from revolutionary times into the post-Stalin era. These rules increasingly prevented the Communist party from responding to the immense social changes that it had itself set in motion: although the Soviet political system initially had vast resources for transforming society, its ability to transform itself became severely limited.In Roeder's view, the problem was not that Soviet leaders did not attempt to change, but that their attempts were so often defeated by institutional resistance to reform. The leaders' successful efforts to stabilize the political system reduced its adaptability, and as the need for reform continued to mount, stability became a fatal flaw. Roeder's analysis of institutional constraints on political behavior represents a striking departure from the biographical approach common to other analyses of Soviet leadership, and provides a strong basis for comparison of the Soviet experience with constitutional transformation in other authoritarian polities.ACLS Humanities E-Book.AuthoritarianismSoviet UnionConstitutional historySoviet UnionHISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet UnionbisacshSoviet UnionPolitics and governmentAdministrative Organs Department.Bunce, Valerie.Cabinet of Ministers.Central Asian republics.Central Control Commission.Council of the Federation.Hosking, Geoffrey.Jones, Ellen.Kommunist.Komsomol.Ministry of State Farms.Organization Party Work Department.Orgburo.Politburo.Procuracy.Rush, Myron.Savinkin, Nikolai I.Socialist Revolutionary party.United Opposition.Willerton, John P.Zemtsov, Ilya.Zimyatin, Leonid.accountability.armed forces.balancing.clientelism.constitution.democratic centralism.disqualification of leaders.economic priorities.forced departicipation.generalist and specialist roles.great man theories.institutionalization.integrated electoral machine.learning theory.logrolling.loose coupling.military thought.normal politics.partisan analysis.political interests model.power and authority.regimes.revenue-seeking state.selectoral motivation.selectorate.sovnarkhozy.stagnation.unenfranchised participants.vice-president of the USSR.AuthoritarianismConstitutional historyHISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union.321.920947Roeder Philip Gaut677256American Council of Learned SocietiesothMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996248121803316Red sunset1295503UNISA01974nac# 22002651i 450 UON0006603620231205102330.21820020107f |0itac50 baFR|||| |||||b||||||||||Société d'Etudes Linguistiques et Anthropologiques de FranceLuc Bouquiaux et Jacqueline M.C.
