Paper Summary:
This paper takes a brief look at the transition from communism to capitalism in Russia from the perspective of the social contract. It finds that, while there has been a shift from rule by conquest to one by consensus and while Russia does have a functioning electoral democracy, there remains no liberal democracy. Coupled with the lack of economic hope, it is difficult for the polity to feel any confidence in the new social contract. Some anticipate a return to authoritarian rule, others suggest that this is no longer possible. In any case, Russia is again in a situation where the state may be unable to deliver on its end of the bargain.More papers on Russia's Social Contract:
