Post-Soviet Power: State-Led Development and Russia’s Marketization

Overview

ENGPost-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. RUS Книга рассказывает историю российской энергосистемы и исследует политические закономерности ее перестройки с бюрократических рельсов на рыночные. Сюзан Венгле переводит внимание читателя с того, что обычно попадало в фокус постсоветской политэкономии — коррупции и недостаточности структурных реформ — на политическую борьбу вокруг управления экономикой. Она подчеркивает важность того, как сильно власть была вовлечена в экономическое планирование, и рассматривает механизмы государственного вмешательства в строительство рынка. Книга предлагает нам смотреть на экономическую и политическую власти как взаимоуправляющие — как в России, так и за ее пределами. Если традиционно политология принимает за данность, что устройство рынка опирается на политические институты, в российском случае переход к рынку ознаменовался тем, что политические решения были производными от экономических договоренностей — при том, что экономику и рынок Венгле заставляет нас увидеть как исполненный случайностей и условностей конструкт.
