Description: "In examining labour's relationship to the Soviet state, the role played by workers in the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the subsequent political evolution of independent Russia and the Ukraine, this book's strengths lie in the originality of the methodology employed together with the scope of analysis. It offers a coherent analysis of the important issues of Soviet-type systems, the place of Labour within them, a critique of the dominant paradigm for analysis of regime change, a challenge of the view that Russia and Ukraine have established capitalist systems, and a survey of labour's relations with the state and enterprise management. This text will grab the reader's attention, especially those from political science backgrounds, both students and those in academe, and industrial relations for courses on Labour or comparative studies."--Jacket.
