Title: Putin's Russia
Description: Leading scholars explore the domestic and international problems confronting Vladimir Putin and modern Russia. Evaluating the regime's continued efforts to rebuild a country once on the verge of collapse, they consider a comprehensive array of economic, political, foreign policy, and social issues. Putin has his own approach for dealing with the myriad problems facing Russia, emphasizing recentralization of power and a strong state. He has returned to power amid unresolved policy issues both domestically and from the international community. Only by understanding these concerns -- and previous efforts to deal with them -- will it be possible to understand the country’s trajectory.
