• Introduction: Is Democracy Developing in Russia’s Regions ?.
• For most Western and Russian scholars who have observed recent political developments in Russia, the evaluation of the Russian political regime as something "between authoritarianism and democracy" is common. Scholars have widely employed "quasi-," "semi-," "pseudo-," "proto-" and other descriptive adjectives to qualify evaluations of democratic development in Russia over the last several years. How relevant are these approaches for analyzing democratization in Russia, however? To provide a complete answer to this question, one must take a comparative perspective.
• There are two different, but overlapping dimensions to the comparative study of national politics: First, political researchers often make cross national (i. ... There are many examples of scholarship comparing the experiences of Russia and Eastern Europe, Latin America and Southern Europe as they make (or made) the transition from authoritarian regimes. Although the theoretical foundations, as well as the implications, of such comparative studies are still uncertain, this approach has become quite common in contemporary Russian politics.
• The second dimension of comparative studies of Russian politics, involving cross-regional (i. ...
• An interesting puzzle arises from actual cross-regional comparison, as well as the comparison of multi-level (national and regional) political developments: If democracy is developing in Russia’s regions, how can we explain the significant diversity of these developments? Are the regions less "democratic" than Russia as a whole, and why are some regions more or less democratic than others ? The varying perspectives presented in this chapter go a long way toward solving this puzzle.
• While the application of such a neatly constructed model would seem to be relatively straightforward, for Russia’s developing political regimes — both on national and regional levels – such is not the case. ...
• This is the case for Russia, where there are many possible paths of political change across the 89 regions. ... These practices are widespread in Russia’s regions. ...
• These issues raise the question of whether Russia’s regions have achieved what Dahl refers to as the "procedural" and "substantive" dimensions of democracy. ... Within this context, the political institutions of Russia’s regions, including the legislature, the executives, and judicial branches must be investigated. ... In doing so, Gel’man’s presentation underlines the diversity of political change within the regions and shows the challenges of democratization in a country as large and varied as Russia.
• The controversies of regional democratization in Russia are, of course, only a part of the general problems of democratization. ...

• In addition to Sweden, it borders Russia and Finland. ...
