Concentrating on Vladimir Putin's system of governance - referred to as sistema - she identifies four key types of networks: his inner circle, useful friends, core contacts and more diffuse ties and connections. These networks serve sistema but also serve themselves. Reliance on networks enables leaders to mobilise and to control, yet they also lock politicians, bureaucrats and businesses into informal deals, mediated interests and personalised loyalty. This is the 'modernisation trap of informality': one cannot use the potential of informal networks without triggering their negative long-term consequences for institutional development. Ledeneva's perspective on informal power is based on in-depth interviews with sistema insiders and enhanced by evidence of its workings brought to light in court cases, enabling her to draw broad conclusions about the prospects for Russia's political institutions"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000888015 60010 $$aPutin, Vladimir Vladimirovich,$$d1952-$$xFriends and associates. 000888015 60010 $$aPutin, Vladimir Vladimirovich,$$d1952-$$xPolitical and social views. 000888015 650_0 $$aSocial networks$$xPolitical aspects$$zRussia (Federation) 000888015 650_0 $$aPower (Social sciences)$$zRussia (Federation) 000888015 650_0 $$aPolitical culture$$zRussia (Federation) 000888015 650_0 $$aSocial change$$zRussia (Federation) 000888015 651_0 $$aRussia (Federation)$$xPolitics and government. 000888015 852__ $$bebk 000888015 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1113015$$zOnline Access 000888015 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:888015$$pGLOBAL_SET 000888015 980__ $$aEBOOK 000888015 980__ $$aBIB 000888015 982__ $$aEbook 000888015 983__ $$aOnline
