Description: "Legislative Politics and Economic Power in Russia is a study of the actors and institutions that shape legislative decision making in Russia. Referring specifically to economic policy, it covers Russia's main legislative institutions since 1990: the Supreme Soviet and both houses of the Federal Assembly. Using a diverse mix of data sources - interviews, votes and parliamentary debates - the book assesses the influence of partisan, bureaucratic, regional and corporate interests in the law-making process, and explores how their importance has evolved under the presidencies of Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin."--BOOK JACKET.
