Parliamentary oversight in Putin's neo-patrimonial state. watch / Whitmore, Sarah   Journal Article
Whitmore, Sarah Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Conceptualising Russia as a neopatrimonial state directs attention to the patrimonial relations that pervaded formal institutions to reveal increasing tensions within the state during Putin's presidency. A case study of parliamentary oversight practices points to the emergence of legitimation as their key purpose, but also to the growing contradictions between the controlling and legitimating impulses of Putin's regime. At the same time deputies responded to the changes in their status and influence by moving their resources towards the patrimonial sphere, most notably utilising oversight institutions for direct and indirect private interests-activities tolerated by the regime in exchange for political loyalty.
