Center-Periphery Relations After Ten Years of Centralization | ||
in Russian politics and law , vol. 48, n. 1, January-February , 2010 , 3-7 | ||
The articles in this issue examine the processes through which center-periphery relations have actually worked in Russia. They show that the cycle of decentralization and recentralization that took place in Russia over the last twenty years is not unique but rather parallels events both in Russia's past history and in other parts of the region. At the same time, the authors in this collection argue that even as members of the regional elite are adapting to the new system of center-periphery relations, it has increased the vulnerability of the country's political system as a whole to future political and economic shocks. | ||
