Reviews

'This book is a significant contribution to the field of Russian studies, political science, and economics, and will be of considerable interest to scholars in the field of nuclear proliferation. The authors - Russian and American - are all knowledgeable and many have direct experience in the nuclear field. The scholarship is of the highest quality, backed by authoritative sources. No other full-length work examines the nuclear issue in the context of Russia's regions. Preventing Nuclear Meltdown is a real contribution to our understanding of Russia's evolving federalism.' Charles E. Ziegler, University of Louisville, USA 'An interesting study not just of proliferation and Russian politics, but of the dynamics of federalism as well...Highly recommended.' Choice '...the book makes a strong case for closer attention to the problems that nuclear facilities spread over the vast Russian territory have to deal with.' The Russian Review 'The book's strength lies in the depth of the research conducted and the importance of the topic being pursued...As a first, detailed study of this problem, this is an important work...These analysts have done a fine job laying the foundation for further empirical study and theorizing.' Slavic Review '...this book is one of those rare edited volumes that is extremely well researched and well thorught out with consistently high quality throughout that is a must read for those concerned with nuclear and/or Russian issues. It provides the reader with everything they need to know about Russia's nuclear complex but were afraid to ask (because some of the answers you may not wish to hear).' Slavonic and East European Review
