No sector has been as vital as oil to the Russian economy since Vladimir Putin came to power. Oil in Putin’s Russia offers an in-depth examination of the contests over windfalls drawn from the oil sector since 1999. Examining how the Russian leadership has guided the process of distributing these windfalls, the author explores the causes behind key policy continuities and policy reversals during Putin’s tenure. The book offers a comprehensive and timely account of politics and policy in contemporary Russia, and a significant contribution to research on the political economy of resource rents in mineral resource-rich countries.
