In this timely book, political scientists and historians examine past attempts at reform in Russia and relate them to prospects for future reform. The authors repeatedly point to the entrenched power of evolving administrative elites with a vested interest in preserving the status quo from which their privileges derive. They also suggest that certain widespread attitudes have persisted in Russia with remarkable tenacity, among them the tendency to view opposition to existing arrangements as a threat to the common good and to interpret proposals for reform as the self-interested action of a powerful clique or faction. Several chapters discuss Gorbachev’s campaign of perestroika and whether it will succeed in making the Soviet government more effective and more responsive to economic conditions and to popular needs and aspirations
