Revitalizing Russian Industry: The Road Ahead After Fifteen Years of Transition

This book provides a guide to the progress made thus far in the transformation of Russian industry from exclusive reliance on state enterprises during the communist era to modern-oriented private sector firms. Further, it outlines the remaining constraints to the full transition of Russia into a modern market economy and how to remove those constraints in the future. The book combines theoretical discussions and real world experiences relating to post-communist Russian industrial development. This book draws upon the expertise of those who have directly experienced Russian industry in transition as well as those who can put that experience within a larger context of the process of transition in a range of former communist countries.
