History Russia & The Former Soviet Union Post-Soviet Power tells the story of the Russian electricity system and examines the politics of its transformation from a ministry to a market. Susanne A. Wengle shifts our focus away from what has been at the center of post-Soviet political economy - corruption and the lack of structural reforms - to draw attention to political struggles to establish a state with the ability to govern the economy. She highlights the importance of hands-on economic planning by authorities - post-Soviet developmentalism - and details the market mechanisms that have been created. This book argues that these observations urge us to think of economies and political authority as mutually constitutive, in Russia and beyond. Whereas political science often thinks of market arrangements resulting from political institutions, Russia's marketization demonstrates that political status is also produced by the market arrangements that actors create. Taking this reflexivity seriously suggests a view of economies and markets as constructed and contingent entities. 2023-09-29T05:31:16Z 2023-09-29T05:31:16Z 2022 book 9798887193182 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/76492 rus application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International external_content.pdf Academic Studies Press Academic Studies Press ffe92610-fbe7-449b-a2a8-02c411701a23 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9798887193182 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Academic Studies Press Knowledge Unlatched open access |

Post-Soviet Power tells the story of the Russian electricity system and examines the politics of its transformation from a ministry to a market. Susanne A.

She highlights the importance of hands-on economic planning by authorities - post-Soviet developmentalism - and details the market mechanisms that have been created. This book argues that these observations urge us to think of economies and political authority as mutually constitutive, in Russia and beyond. Whereas political science often thinks of market arrangements resulting from political institutions, Russia's marketization demonstrates that political status is also produced by the market arrangements that actors create. Taking this reflexivity seriously suggests a view of economies and markets as constructed and contingent entities. |
