Reviews
“The reader will also find very detailed information about how much influence particular institutions and even individuals had in policy preparation. The book is also certainly a significant theoretical contribution to institutionalist theory and comparative public policy studies, especially in reference to the post-socialist economic transformation. … This is an important lesson that may be of interest not only to scientists and students but also, and perhaps especially, to policy-makers.” (Martin Lux, International Journal of Housing Policy, Vol. 17 (3), June, 2017)
'This book offers fascinating insights into Russian and earlier Soviet policy-making and the role of social learning in one crucial domain, housing policy. Marina Khmelnitskaya's rich and insightful analysis moves the discussion on policy-making in contemporary Russia and social learning further and deserves to be considered carefully.' Martin Lodge, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, London School of Economics, UK'Khmelnitskaya shows how Russia's hybrid-authoritarian political model has inhibited the development of effective policy in the all-important housing sector. Housing policy was pulled back and forth between market reforms, bureaucratic resistance and social opposition. This is one of just a handful of works analyzing public policy in post-soviet Russia.' Peter Rutland, Professor of Government, Wesleyan University, USA
'In this important new book, Marina Khmeinitskaya provides a theoretically informed, historical analysis of the transformations in housing policy in post-Soviet Russia. Her analysis employs and adapts Peter Hall's highly influential 'social learning' model of policy change to identify and explain paradigmatic policy shifts. Drawing on this framework, she presents a fascinating account of divergent patterns of change in three critical areas of housing policy in post-Soviet Russia: housing property rights, mortgage finance and the management of utility services in apartment blocks. An enjoyable and insightful book, it is essential reading for scholars and students interested in housing policy and especially in the ways in which it has changed in Russia in the post-Soviet era.' Peter A. Kemp, Professor of Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, UK
