Аннотация:
This volume seeks to fill the vacuum created by the Joint Economic Committee of Congress's decision to cease publishing comprehensive assessments of Russia's performance and potential. It provides readers with authoritative descriptions of Russia's economy, military prowess and international ambitions. The volume does not settle controversies, but does provide readers with an objective basis for assessing Russia's prospects without the distortions caused by fake news and disinformation wars.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li><b><i>Russian Economy:</i></b><ul><li>Putin's Muscovite Economy <i>(Steven Rosefielde)</i></li><li>Russia's Macroeconomy — A Closer Look at Growth, Investment and Uncertainty <i>(Torbjörn Becker)</i></li><li>State-Led Innovation and Uneven Adaptation in Russia <i>(Satoshi Mizobata)</i></li><li>Fundamentals and Recent Trends in Russian Banking <i>(Victor Gorshkov)</i></li><li>Russian Health and Demographic Trends and Prospects <i>(Judyth Twigg)</i></li><li>Can Russia Catch Up/Keep Up?
