Description: Challenges for Russian Economic Reform contains papers published by the Post-Soviet Business Forum at the Royal Institute of International Affairs that have been revised for this volume. The contributors, specialists in Russian economic affairs, examine the principal economic and institutional factors that have hindered transformation in Russia.

The sheer size of the country has complicated the problem of exposing domestic producers to foreign competition and has weakened the ability of central authorities to control the regions. Economic stabilization has been hampered by the difficulties in establishing sound economic relations with the former Soviet republics.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
