Can Democracy Take Root in Post-Soviet Russia?

by Harry Eckstein, Frederic J. Fleron, Jr., Erik P Hoffmann, and William M Reisinger

Published 30 April 1998

Exploring the dynamics of state-society relations in post-Soviet Russia, noted scholars examine the nature of authority patterns within and between state and society. The authors explain congruence theory and employ it to interpret contemporary Russian politics. With its strong theoretical orientation, this pathbreaking volume raises new issues in the study of post-communist politics and, from the unifying perspective of congruence theory, provides a range of views on these hotly contested issues.
