Abstract

In Russia’s Crony Capitalism, Åslund focuses on Putin’s political and economic strategy in the 2000s. The book draws on Åslund’s deep expertise on Russian politics, detailing the role of Putin’s close associates and businesspeople in establishing the economic system we see in the 2000s in Russia. While making an important contribution to our understanding of Russian political economy, the book overlooks the important issue of economic inequality and variation across the regions of Russia. Åslund sometimes offers policy recommendations that, while perhaps admirable in principle, are unlikely to be politically feasible in the near term in Russia. Nonetheless, Åslund’s perspective is one of the best informed on Russian politics today and a vital part of the ongoing discussion about how, when, and why the Putin era of Russian politics will continue to work and how it will come to an end.

俄罗斯将何去何从?该做些什么?安德斯Åslund关于俄罗斯政治经济的新书
在《俄罗斯的裙带资本主义》一书中,Åslund关注的是普京在2000年代的政治和经济战略。这本书借鉴了Åslund对俄罗斯政治的深厚专业知识,详细描述了普京的亲信和商人在建立我们在21世纪初看到的俄罗斯经济体系中的作用。在对我们理解俄罗斯政治经济做出重要贡献的同时,这本书忽略了俄罗斯各地区经济不平等和差异的重要问题。Åslund有时会提出一些政策建议,尽管这些建议在原则上或许令人钦佩,但在俄罗斯短期内不太可能在政治上可行。尽管如此,Åslund的观点是当今最了解俄罗斯政治的观点之一,也是正在进行的关于普京时代的俄罗斯政治将如何、何时、为何继续运作以及如何结束的讨论的重要组成部分。

期刊介绍: Russian History’s mission is the publication of original articles on the history of Russia through the centuries, in the assumption that all past experiences are inter-related. Russian History seeks to discover, analyze, and understand the most interesting experiences and relationships and elucidate their causes and consequences. Contributors to the journal take their stand from different perspectives: intellectual, economic and military history, domestic, social and class relations, relations with non-Russian peoples, nutrition and health, all possible events that had an influence on Russia. Russian History is the international platform for the presentation of such findings.
