Beskrivning

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. Their work in this collection provides critical analyses 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. Additionally, this book examines the philosophy of technology with an emphasis on critical theory, eco-domination, and engineering ethics.

Russian Studies, Political Science, and the Philosophy of Technology brings together impressive essays that engage with many of the big issues of our time. It is worthy testimony to a great scholar, Frederic Fleron, and reflects his interests in Soviet, Russian, and post-communist studies as well as political leadership, science and technology, comparative politics, and democratization. A thoughtful essay introduces us to the man and the scholar, followed by testimonies that provide a moving personal dimension to the solid scholarship of the contributors to this volume. This outstanding collection will be of interest to a broad audience.
