Description: Written in the spirit of comparative and historical analysis, this book addresses the relationship between the center and its provinces - an important issue in any society - using Russia as a case study. The authors investigate the historical stages of Russia's past with a special focus on the postcommunist era, a time when the movement toward regional autonomy (regionalization) is extremely important as a molder of political and economic life.

In addition, the book shows how historical traditions, on the one hand, and the new market economy and democratization, on the other, will shape the relationship between the center and provinces in the coming decade.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 222-278) and index.
