Description - Tattered Banners by Walter Connor
In post-Soviet Russia's transition to new political and economic systems, few issues are as important as labour. Although the worker's paradise" may have been largely imaginary, the loss of job security and benefits that has accompanied marketization could well become a catalyst for yet another political upheaval. In this timely book, Walter Connor explores how the Yeltsin government has attempted to avoid this pitfall of system change. Connor examines Russia's emergent labour politics in the critical first years of the post-Soviet period, focusing on the problems Yeltsin has encountered in attempting to adopt a corporatist" solution to the conflicts of interest that have arisen between labour, employers, and the state. With many employers still heavily dependent on the state, while others are already beyond state control, the corporatist effort has been sabotaged, Connor contends, by the lack of distinct interest groups found in more mature market economies. He concludes with an analysis of what these recent developments may portend for Russian politics and government in the near term.
