Her research has appeared in Studies in Comparative International Development, Economy and Society, Europe-Asia Studies, the Russian Analytical Digest, and the Chicago Policy Review. She is currently working on a project on the political economy of agriculture and food systems in Russia and the US. Klappentext Examines the transformation of the Russian electricity system during post-Soviet marketization, arguing for a view of economic and political development as mutually constitutive. Zusammenfassung Post-Soviet Power traces the transformation of the Russian electricity system after the collapse of the Soviet planned economy. Unlike accounts that assess Russia's failure to create functioning markets! this book examines in detail the markets that have been created and suggests a critical revision of theories of how Russian authorities and oligarchic empires shaped them.
