New book "The Russian Economy under Putin" is edited by Torbjörn Becker, Director at SITE, and Susanne Oxenstierna, Deputy Research Director at the Swedish Defence Research Institute (FOI).
The book presents a comprehensive view of the state of the Russian economy under President Putin. It considers the extent of Russia鈥檚 integration in the world economy, where Russia鈥檚 exports of oil and gas are a key factor, discusses Russia鈥檚 internal challenges, including changing demographics, declining government revenue, the need to counter over-reliance on the oil and gas sector and the consequences of high military spending, and assesses the prospects for economic reform, highlighting especially the power struggles between different vested interests. Overall, the book provides a basis for understanding what has been going on in the Russian economy under President Putin and what the future may look like given the external environment, internal challenges and reform processes.
