About this title

Synopsis

The collapse of the Soviet Union initiated a set of integration and disintegration processes between and within the new independent states of Eurasia. Thus it created a perfect playground for comparing and studying the co-evolution of different forms of interaction between governments. The aim of this book is to analyze different projects of multi-level governance created after the dissolution of the hierarchical Soviet system, including decentralization in individual post-Soviet countries and development of post-Soviet regionalism and regional integration in a unified framework, combining elements of international political economy and economics of endogenous decentralization. The book also looks at the third form of integration, which has been virtually ignored by the literature so far: the vivid regionalization based on investments of Russian and Kazakhstan multinationals in the post-Soviet countries. It, finally, shows that the development of multi-level governance had a profound impact on both success of reforms in the former Soviet Union and specifics of economic policy pursued by the main actors in the region.
