Reviews

Anna Bailey's high-quality book helps us understand how formal and informal sources of power combine to produce the outcomes we see in the world. Her insights are relevant to courses on post-communist politics, economic development, and policy making and implementation. --Andrew Barnes, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science, Kent State University Anna Bailey's book is relaxed and readable. Her concepts are clear, there is no unnecessary jargon, and provides the reader with substantively rich, well-documented insights into the realm of Russian alcohol-policymaking. --Mark Schrad, Associate Professor, Villanova University
