Resource allocation and policymaking will not be all that different from Western countries. At the same time, it would be wrong to draw direct parallels between Russia and the United States. Generally speaking, there are two types of corporatism, both characterized by a virtual right of veto over policy on the part of all relevant actors. Russia has features of both types. Both labor and capital owners wield strong influence, to the degree that the government routinely submits draft budgets to trade unions even before sending them to the parliament.
Regions are increasingly autonomous as well.
The market and the political system are dominated by large corporate entities, while the stratum of medium and small entities is rather thin and politically weak. Overall, the situation is similar to the one in Japan. The ability of the government to develop and implement policy will be strongly limited by the influence of politically relevant domestic actors, each of whom will hold a virtual right of veto over specific aspects of policy. Unlike in pluralist systems, will have only a limited ability to manipulate domestic coalitions for the simple reason that the coalition will be nearly all-encompassing and very stable. The government will attempt to incorporate all interests into its foreign policy rather than choose between them.
