This power imbalance is a hold-over from the Soviet era in which the RSFSR was first among equals. Empires, like the Soviet one, are specific types of political systems that differed from modern states. The centralized, multi-ethnic and non-democratic character of empires explains the continued dominance of the Russian Federation. It also explains the absence of alternative economic arrangements and political contacts between the former republics. The Soviet system was structured so as to establish Russian control over non-Russian republics. The political structure was centralized so that all decisions, including investment, production, and distribution decisions were made in Moscow. Economic planning dictated a complex network of production and distribution that rendered the former republics dependent on Russia in a variety of ways. Soviet patterns of government administration and economic management are still evident in all the former republics. Continued dependency on Russia has compromised the state-building efforts of the former republics. Political rhetoric trumpeting new foreign investment, the expansion of diplomatic relations, the signing of trade agreements, and the imminent entrance into international organizations masks the fact that none of these new contacts have been able to replace the old Soviet production and distribution networks. Scholars and students involved with comparative politics and Russian (post-Communist) Studies will find the work of particular value. 606 $aNational security$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aPost-communism$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aWorld politics$y1989- 607 $aFormer Soviet republics$xForeign relations 607 $aFormer Soviet republics$xPolitics and government 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a947.086 700 $aBirgerson$b Susanne Michele$f1968-$01811103 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962126703321 996 $aAfter the breakup of a multi-ethnic empire$94362756 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01690nam0 2200361 i 450 001 VAN00132721 005 20250310045215.214 017 70$2N$a9781461493051 100 $a20210324d2014 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aUS 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aQuirky Quantum Concepts$ePhysical, Conceptual, Geometric, and Pictorial Physics that Didn?t Fit in Your Textbook$fEric L.
