In this book, leading Russian and Western political scientists contribute to debates in comparative politics by examining Russia's subnational politics. Beginnings with a chapter that reviews major debates in theory and method, this book continues to examine Russia's 83 regions, exploring a wide range of topics including the nature and stability of authoritarian regimes, federal politics, political parties, ethnic conflict, governance and inequality in a comparative perspective. Providing both qualitative and quantitative data from 20 years of original research, the book draws on elite interaction, public opinion and the role of institutions regionally in the post-Soviet years. The regions vary on a number of theoretically interesting dimensions while their federal membership provides control for other dimensions that are challenging for globally comparative studies. The authors demonstrate the utility of subnational analyses and show how regional questions can help answer a variety of political questions, providing evidence from Russia that can be used by specialists on other large countries or world regions in cross-national scholarship.Situated within broader theoretical and methodological political science debates, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Russian politics, comparative politics, regionalism and subnational politics"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge Research in Comparative Politics 606 $aSubnational governments$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xPolitics and government$y1991- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSubnational governments 676 $a324.630947 701 $aReisinger$b William M$g(William Mark),$f1957-$0966841 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462667303321 996 $aRussia's regions and comparative subnational politics$92194373 997 $aUNINA
