About this book
Reviews
“Chandler’s book provides a valuable resource for researchers interested in the interplay between gender, democracy and social policy in post-Soviet Russia and a useful case study for those interested in the role of discourse in public policy debates.” (Richard C. M. Mole, SEER - Slavonic and East European Review, Vol. 94 (4), October, 2016)
Andrea Chandler's fine new book provides an innovative analysis of the competing discourses liberal, nationalist, feminist, human rights - that political elites and citizens used to debate social policy in Russia from 1990-2011. Chandler assigns discourse a key role in explaining policy outcomes, and argues that social policy has been a major cause of both democratizing and de-democratizing regime changes.Linda Cook, Department of Political Science, Brown University, USA
