Building a strong Russian state was the central goal of Vladimir Putin's presidency. This book argues that Putin's strategy for rebuilding the state was fundamentally flawed. Taylor demonstrates that a disregard for the way state officials behave toward citizens – state quality – had a negative impact on what the state could do – state capacity. Focusing on those organizations that control state coercion, what Russians call the "power ministries," Taylor shows that many of the weaknesses of the Russian state that existed under Boris Yeltsin persisted under Putin. Drawing on extensive field research and interviews, as well as a wide range of comparative data, the book reveals the practices and norms that guide the behavior of Russian power ministry officials (the so-called siloviki), especially law enforcement personnel. By examining siloviki behavior from the Kremlin down to the street level, State Building in Putin's Russia uncovers the who, where, and how of Russian state building after communism.
State Capacity和State Quality很有启发。
评分State Capacity和State Quality很有启发。
评分第二章有一个对于Силовики比较细致的介绍,其他就没有什么闪光点了...主要用新闻报道写成的,放到现在不下田野收集原创数据是真不行了...
评分State Capacity和State Quality很有启发。
评分算是Volkov “violent entrepreneurs”的后续。不同于Volkov专注社会层面私人安保公司的兴起,本书着笔于苏联解体后叶利钦和普京时代上层的power ministries如何经历了被打散削弱以及又进一步加强的过程,并提出state capacity和state quality的概念,指出俄罗斯state capacity中存在的三大问题:世袭关系胜于能力;靠内部监管而非来自法律媒体和非盈利组织的监督;国家机构从业人员缺乏目标和使命感。书中提到一个观点很有趣:俄罗斯历史上倾向于关注国际边界冲突高于内部发展管理。
