The Comparative Context -- Conclusion: Overcoming Russia’s Labor Dilemma -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexIn 'Putin's Labor Dilemma', Stephen Crowley investigates how the fear of labor protest has inhibited substantial economic transformation in Russia. Putin boasts he has the backing of workers in the country's industrial heartland, but as economic growth slows in Russia, reviving the economy will require restructuring the country's industrial landscape. At the same time, doing so threatens to generate protest and instability from a key regime constituency. However, continuing to prop up Russia's Soviet-era workplaces, writes Crowley, could lead to declining wages and economic stagnation, threatening protest and instability.Cornell scholarship online.Working classRussia (Federation)Industrial relationsPolitical aspectsRussia (Federation)Business and politicsRussia (Federation)Industrial policyRussia (Federation)Economic stabilizationRussia (Federation)Political stabilityRussia (Federation)Social stabilityRussia (Federation)Russia (Federation)Economic conditions1991-Russia (Federation)Economic policy1991-Russian social and labor protest, Putin and populism, Color Revolution, Monotowns.Working classIndustrial relationsPolitical aspectsBusiness and politicsIndustrial policyEconomic stabilizationPolitical stabilitySocial stability331.120947Crowley Stephen1960-1090313StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK996472047503316Putin's labor dilemma2815391UNISA
