Limits of a Post–Soviet State – How Informality Replaces, Renegotiates, and Reshapes Governance in Contemporary Ukraine (Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society) - Softcover
Book 41 of 183: Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society
Synopsis
Though informed by case studies conducted in Ukraine, this book transcends its country-specific scope. It explains why informality in governance is not necessarily transitory or temporary but a constant in most political systems. The book discusses self-protective mechanisms, responses to incomplete or unfocused policy making, and strategies employed by individuals, classes, and communities to respond to unusual demands. The book argues that when state or company expectations exceed normative behavior, informal behavior continues to thrive. New tactics help cope with the reality of governance. Informality also challenges the values imposed by power through attitudes and behaviors that take place "beyond" or "in spite of" the state.
