Joanna Drzewieniecki

1/5 ( ratings)

This volume presents state-of-the-art creative scholarship in political science and area studies with an emphasis on Russia. The contributors, all well-known in their specialties, share the conviction that advancement in the social sciences can only be achieved through plural methodological approaches and interaction with various disciplines. This collection provides critical analysis of key issues in Russian and post-Soviet studies. It explores the most fruitful ways of studying Russia with particular emphasis on the federal system, politics in the era of Putin, challenges of Russian foreign policy, and Russian attitudes toward democracy. The vagaries of democracy are also explored in articles on Georgia and Turkey. This book also examines the philosophy of technology with an emphasis on critical theory, eco-domination, and engineering ethics. Additionally, the application of grand theory and mid-range theory to the study of politics are also explored.
