What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

'Brusis, Ahrens and Wessel have assembled a stimulating collection of studies on political legitimation in the CIS. The chapters combine a variety of perspectives and case studies on the challenges regimes face after the economic crises of 2008-10 and the Crimean crisis of 2014. Many chapters are important stand-alone studies.' Richard Pomfret, University of Adelaide, Australia, and The Johns Hopkins University, Bologna, Italy

'This is the remarkable outcome of an inter-disciplinary research network touching upon the fundamentals of Eurasian post-communist states: the different aspects of their politics of legitimation and legitimacy. The volume will be a leading scientific tool for international scholars of post-Soviet countries and their realities.' Jutta Scherrer, Professor of Russian History, L'École des hautes études en sciences sociales, Paris, France

'This inter-disciplinary collection explores the legitimation strategies adopted by ruling elites in post-soviet Eurasia.Combining a Weberian conceptual framework with detailed country case studies, this will be a valuable addition to the debate over the political stability of the post-soviet states in the face of widespread corruption and sluggish economic performance.' Peter Rutland, Professor of Government, Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, USA
