Overview

A major issue for Russia is how far democratisation should be prioritised or whether the modernization of Russia might not prosper better by Russia focusing directly on modernization and not worrying too much about democracy. This book explores a wide range of aspects of this important question. It discusses how the debate is conducted in Russia; outlines how Russians contrast their own experiences, unfavourably, with the experience of China, where reform and modernization have been pursued with great success, with no concern at all for democracy; and concludes by assessing how the debate in Russia is likely to be resolved.
