'In examining Russia's response to globalization, the contributors to this remarkably coherent collection of essays go a long way towards unpacking the 'black box' of Russian political decision-making. This book will be indispensible to those who want to understand contemporary Russian domestic and foreign policy.'

- Margot Light, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

'This excellent book fills a gap in our understanding of Russian politics by examining in detail the policy-making processes through which Russia's various state and non-state actors address the crucial issues of globalization that require them to cooperate with external actors. It is clear, concise, and well-argued.'
