“…A number of scholars focus on the role of business associations in providing firms with lobbying services and collective action opportunities that became especially important in the new environment of a more consolidated bureaucratic state machine in the 2000s (Duvanova, 2011;Frye, 2002;Markus, 2007;Pyle, 2009;Yakovlev, 2006). Both formal and informal institutions on the regional level appear important (Adachi, 2011;Bruno et al, 2013;Frye et al, 2009;Rochlitz, 2014). The special relations between firms and regional governments are found to be consequential for firm-level decision-making and the regional-level business environment (Frye, 2002;Slinko et al, 2005;Yakovlev, 2006Yakovlev, , 2011.…”

This study uses the latest 2011 round of the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey for the Russian Federation to take a closer look at regional‐level factors influencing the business environment in Russia. Specifically, the study explores the role of regional administrations and variables of administrative continuity and governor origin in shaping regional business environment. The findings reveal that regional businesses in Russia are (1) acutely anxious about administrative transitions (as expressed in gubernatorial replacements) and favour administrative continuity, and (2) favour government officials that are locally embedded. The analysis suggests that many localities in Russia have witnessed the emergence of mutually beneficial state‐business arrangements that are inimical to economic competition.

“…The annual television speech by Vladimir Putin (he continued the tradition when Prime minister) has become the sole political programme of the government. Courts are notoriously linked to the administrative power and corruption remains as problematic as it has ever been (Rochlitz, 2014). Minorities are legally protected, and various religions enjoy the title of being 'recognised by the State'.…”

Are Empires Striking Back? A Political and Cultural Comparison of the European Union and Russia

The article is a position paper focusing on the current standoff between two regional powers, the European Union and Russia. Following a series of crises, in particular the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014, the relationship between Russia and many of its neighbours has significantly deteriorated. This shift has led to various geopolitical opinions, often opposite and seemingly irreconcilable. A holistic and historical approach to this new reality leads some to question the validity of the current world order through the prism of the anachronistic concept of Empires. Subsequent to a review of definitions, the author analyses historical characteristics and political factors of the two territories on focus: the European Union and Russia. There are two outcomes of this study: On the one side, the European Union has become an organisation that shares many characteristics of an Empire, but several key elements exclude it from this political construction. On the other side, the geopolitical actions of Russia have shaped the position of the country into a structure that bears many of the artefacts of an Empire with key essential features. The conclusion of this argument states that the European Union is not an Empire by design, despite many resembling features; whilst Russia lives in an anachronistic paradigm of an Empire, without having the means of being one.

“…Sources of data are publications in the media, police and press releases, and court decisions. Another similar source is media coverage of raider attacks in various regions of Russia (Rochlitz, 2014). The disadvantages of such indicators are their possible bias due to uneven media development and them (Yakovlev et al, 2014).…”

The paper explores various measures of institutional quality in Russian regions, and compares those measures to each other. Such analysis leads to the conclusion that Russian regional institutions are essentially multidimensional, and therefore comparisons of Russian regions in terms of their overall institutional quality could be problematic. New institutional indices are derived from Russian enterprise surveys held under the BEEPS project of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. Such indices yield economy and bureaucracy in their regions. Dynamics of regional institutional indices is investigated against the backdrop of Russia-wide institutional trends. reserved.: D73, D78, H73, H83, O17.
