Description

Review 'Fortescue has produced a scholarly work of the first order, which repays reading not only by those with an interest in political economy but also by those interested in broader problems of political development.' - Richard Sakwa, Europe-Asia Studies Volume 59 Issue 7 '...this is a detailed, intricate and thoroughly referenced work.' - Mark Galeotti, The Slavonic and East European Review ' Anyone wanting a relatively concise version of the background to the case and the course of events to 2006 will find it hard to do better' - William Tompson, Birbeck College, University of London, 'This book is an elegant, clear and concise examination of the most powerful contemporary Russian businessmen - where they came from, what they do and where they are going...The book advances out knowledge of the post-Soviet order and should certainly be read by anyone attempting to understand the 'Putin way' and its origins' - Australian Journal of Political Science Product Description Russian politics have been dominated over the last decade by the relationship between the oligarchs and the state. The existing literature is damning of the oligarchs, on two major grounds: they won their wealth and power corruptly, and rapaciously stripped the assets they had so dubiously obtained. This book contains a critical analysis of each of the claims made against them. In doing so it presents a detailed analysis of the place of the oligarchs in the Russian political economy. About the Author STEPHEN FORTESCUE is Associate Professor in the School of Politics and International Relations, University of New South Wales, Australia. He completed a PhD on Soviet primary party organizations at the Australian National University in 1977. After a number of years working in Soviet-related business he returned to academia, with research appointments at the ANU and the University of Birmingham. His primary research interest then was Soviet science, with monographs being published by Macmillan (1986) and Routledge (1990). Since returning to Australia, to an appointment at the University of New South Wales in 1987, he has worked on the Russian economy, with publications on privatization and industry policy, including Policy-Making for Russian Industry (Macmillan 1997). In recent years, he has specialized in the study of the Russian mining and metals industry.
