A figure of controversy since he took over as acting president in 2000, Vladimir Putin has been little understood in the West. In this first full-scale assessment of Putin's leadership, prominent scholars explore the daunting domestic and international problems facing Russia today. Assessing the regime's efforts to rebuild the social, political, and econmic shambles Putin inherited, the book considers such critical issues as the economy, Chechnya, center-periphery relations, military reform, the media, the Duma, democracy, foreign policy, the oligarchs, legal reform and Putin himself.
