{"product_id":"authoritarian-backlash-thomas-ambrosio-9780754673507","title":"Authoritarian Backlash: Russian Resistance to Democratization in the Former Soviet Union","description":"Authoritarian Russia has adopted five strategies to preserve the Kremlin's political power: insulate, bolster, subvert, redefine and coordinate. Thomas Ambrosio examines each of these in turn, all of which seek to counter or undermine regional democratic trends both at home and throughout the former Soviet Union. Policies such as these are of great concern to the growing literature on how autocratic regimes are becoming more active in their resistance to democracy. Through detailed case studies of each strategy, this book makes significant contributions to our understandings of Russian domestic and foreign policies, democratization theory and the policy challenges associated with democracy promotion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Ambrosio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0754673502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780754673507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 174","brand":"Thomas Ambrosio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086824517887,"sku":"9780754673507","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46d3932c-7b03-4e2b-b6c3-e6d7ab0f6eef.jpg?v=1769096792","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/authoritarian-backlash-thomas-ambrosio-9780754673507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
