Politics of Local Government in Russia

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, adopted in 1993, local autonomy is one of the fundamental principles of the constitutional system. The Politics of Local Government in Russia aims to provide a dedicated and comprehensive discussion of the pursuit of local self-government in contemporary Russia where local refers to the third tier of government, beyond federal and regional. Some of the ablest scholars in the field focus on the existing institutional and social climate for municipal and district level government in Russia while placing recent reforms in a comparative and historical perspective.Evans, Alfred B. is the author of 'Politics of Local Government in Russia', published 2004 under ISBN 9780742524798 and ISBN 0742524795.
