Böcker av Thane (Professor of Government Gustafson

In Perfect Storm, Russia analyst Thane Gustafson reinterprets the broader story of Russia's failed opening to the West, focusing on its economic, technological, and social aspects, and the role these played in its ultimate failure. Walking through the longer history of Russia's failure to integrate long before the invasion of Ukraine, Gustafson helps to put in context the more dramatic events of 2022-2024, when vast swathes of the Russian economy found themselves cut off from the West. Perfect Storm tells the story of Russia's opening to the West, from its achievements and disappointments to the complexity of the post-invasion sanctions regime and Russia's possible futures under a new generation of leaders.
