Inhaltsangabe

Whereas virtually every classic work on the theory of party development takes political parties to be inevitable and essential to democracy, Russia has been dominated by non-partisan politicians ever since communism collapsed. This book demonstrates why Russia stands out as a preserve of non-partisanship.

Críticas:

'Hale's book is an important contribution to the field. It is ambitious, intelligent, well-researched and rigorous. It contains significant primary research and is the fullest attempt to theorise party-system development in Russia and to locate it in the comparative literature thus far.' Europe-Asia Studies

'... the substance of Henry E. Hale's detailed, scrupulously researched and engagingly written study is likely to be consulted for a long time to come. It makes key empirical and theoretical contributions to the study of Russian politics from a wide range of sources ... this rich volume will remain pivotal for understanding Russian politics, perhaps even after Putin himself no longer remains so.' Luke March, University of Edinburgh
