Flawed Succession : Russia's Power Transfer Crises

Flawed Succession : Russia's Power Transfer Crises

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In four highly critical sections, Professor Uri Ra'anan and his authoritative contributors analyze the state of Russia's power transfer crises throughout time. This collection takes aim at Russia's unpredictable leadership changes and consequent crises that result from the absence of a mechanism for legitimate succession. Contributors analyze this problem beginning with power struggles in the Kremlin immediately following Josef Stalin's death, and formalizing conclusions throughout Putin's ascent. Shedding new light on Russia's systematic flaw and resulting instability, this work is essential for practitioners and students of policy, especially as that country reemerges as an international power and Putin shows disconcerting tendencies to revert to authoritarian and imperial habits.
