Democracy versus Modernization. A Dilemma for Russia and for the World

Books by Fellows

Edited by Vladislav Inozemtsev and Piotr Dutkiewicz. This book seeks to “re-think democracy.” Over the past years, there has been a tendency in the global policy community and, even more widely, in the world’s media, to focus on democracy as the “gold standard” by which all things political are measured. This book re-examines democracy in Russia and in the world more generally, as idea, desired ideal, and practice. A major issue for Russia is whether the modernization of Russia might not prosper better by Russia focusing directly on modernization and not worrying too much about democracy.
