Their capacity to deliver prosperity has suffered from economic crisis, the conflict in Ukraine and the ensuing confrontation with the West. Will nationalism and repression enable political regimes to survive? This book investigates the politics of legitimation in post-Soviet countries, focusing on how political and intellectual elites exploit different modes of legitimation. Combining cross-national comparisons and country case studies, it addresses state-economy relations, pro-presidential parties, courts, ideas of nationhood, historical and literary narratives. Weak economic performance, evidence of electoral fraud, unresponsive governments and the waning authority of presidents continue to jeopardize institutional legitimacy. Whilst incumbent elites have been able to shift between legitimation modes, this collection argues that shifts towards nationalism, artificial charisma and traditionalism will not be sufficient in the long term to keep elites in power"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000752533 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000752533 650_0 $$aLegitimacy of governments$$zFormer Soviet republics. 000752533 650_0 $$aElite (Social sciences)$$xPolitical activity$$zFormer Soviet republics. 000752533 650_0 $$aPost-communism$$zFormer Soviet republics. 000752533 651_0 $$aFormer Soviet republics$$xPolitics and government. 000752533 7001_ $$aAhrens, Joachim,$$d1963-$$eeditor. 000752533 7001_ $$aBrusis, Martin,$$eeditor. 000752533 7001_ $$aSchulze Wessel, Martin,$$d1962-$$eeditor. 000752533 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tPolitics and legitimacy in post-Soviet Eurasia.$$z9781137489432$$z113748943X$$w(DLC) 2015019851 000752533 852__ $$bebk 000752533 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/9781137489449$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000752533 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:752533$$pGLOBAL_SET 000752533 980__ $$aEBOOK 000752533 980__ $$aBIB 000752533 982__ $$aEbook 000752533 983__ $$aOnline 000752533 994__ $$a92$$bISE
