Recenzii

Eric Shiraev's third edition of Russian Government and Politics remains engaging, detailed, and a good length for teaching schedules as it brings existing material on government institutions and policies fully up to date. It retains effective features from previous editions, including the Critical Thinking analyses that prompt student discussion. Welcome additions include an expanded section on Russian foreign policy - vital to understanding Russia in today's world politics.
This is an essential guide for grasping the nature of Russian government and politics. The text is highly comprehensive - stretching from the time of early Russian state formation to the Constitutional amendments in 2020 - and yet doesn't lose sight of the complexity (and paradoxes) of the material covered. It offers an admirable overview of the institutional machinery of Russian government and surveys with critical precision recent politics and policies in key domains such as the economy, social issues and foreign relations. Students as well as teachers will be grateful for such a well-organized work of synthesis, based on thorough knowledge and written with insight.
Russian Government and Politics is a comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible guide to the contemporary politics of Russia which will help students develop a deeper and more rounded understanding of this vital field of study.
Russian Government and Politics provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the Russian state and its leaders. In an age where simple headlines, memes, and social media chat can too often dominate perceptions, the updated third edition of Eric Shiraev's book gives its readers context and information in order to better understand Russia.
