Reviews

"The book does invite suggestions for the development of a new growth paradigm that accounts for the identified economic handicaps of Russia and exploits Russian advantage" - OLGA KUZNETSOVA, Manchester Metropolitan University, Europe-Asia Studies

"They are invariably thoughtful, well informed and provocative, and they are, quite rightly, widely cited. Their latest work continues this tradition. As academic books go it is short, but there is a considerable amount of analysis packed into it." - Philip Hanson, International Affairs
