Book Synopsis Russia’s Agro-Food Sector by : Peter Wehrheim
Download or read book Russia’s Agro-Food Sector written by Peter Wehrheim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the transition of Russia's agro-food sector from a centrally planned system to a market-oriented one. The chapters set out to explain the initial conditions of transition, describe the measures undertaken, survey the current situation, and offer perspectives on how best to continue with the reform. Hence, the book not only provides insights into Russia's food economy, it also gives very valuable information about the process of transition and the question: What next? Within the Russian context, the food economy is of special importance, due to the relatively high share it represents in the economy and its importance for employment. Furthermore, the privatization and the restructuring of the country's agro-food sector is one of the most controversial issues in the ongoing domestic political debate about the reform process. Russia is also important in that its reintegration into the world economy is at stake. Russia's Agro-Food Sector: Towards Truly Functioning Markets should increase the understanding of the issues causing the cumbersome implementation of reform measures and, in so doing, might provide scholars and policymakers with advice on how to improve the transition process. In fact, one of the most important lessons from the book is that markets will continue to malfunction as long as institutions are not functioning properly.
Book Synopsis Russia's Food Revolution by : Stephen K. Wegren
Download or read book Russia's Food Revolution written by Stephen K. Wegren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the food revolution that has occurred in Russia since the late 1980s, documenting the transformation in systems of production, supply, distribution, and consumption. It examines the dominant actors in the food system; explores how the state regulates food; considers changes in patterns of food trade interactions with other states; and discusses how all this and changing habits of consumption have impacted consumers. It contrasts the grim food situation of 1980s and 1990s with the much better food situation that prevails at present and sets the food revolution in the context of the wider consumer revolution, which has affected fashion, consumer electronics, and other sectors of the economy.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of the Russian Economy by : Michael Alexeev
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Russian Economy written by Michael Alexeev and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1999, Russia's economy was growing at almost 7% per year, and by 2008 reached 11th place in the world GDP rankings. Russia is now the world's second largest producer and exporter of oil, the largest producer and exporter of natural gas, and as a result has the third largest stock of foreign exchange reserves in the world, behind only China and Japan. But while this impressive economic growth has raised the average standard of living and put a number of wealthy Russians on the Forbes billionaires list, it has failed to solve the country's deep economic and social problems inherited from the Soviet times. Russia continues to suffer from a distorted economic structure, with its low labor productivity, heavy reliance on natural resource extraction, low life expectancy, high income inequality, and weak institutions. While a voluminous amount of literature has studied various individual aspects of the Russian economy, in the West there has been no comprehensive and systematic analysis of the socialist legacies, the current state, and future prospects of the Russian economy gathered in one book. The Oxford Handbook of the Russian Economy fills this gap by offering a broad range of topics written by the best Western and Russian scholars of the Russian economy. While the book's focus is the current state of the Russian economy, the first part of the book also addresses the legacy of the Soviet command economy and offers an analysis of institutional aspects of Russia's economic development over the last decade. The second part covers the most important sectors of the economy. The third part examines the economic challenges created by the gigantic magnitude of regional, geographic, ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity of Russia. The fourth part covers various social issues, including health, education, and demographic challenges. It will also examine broad policy challenges, including the tax system, rule of law, as well as corruption and the underground economy. Michael Alexeev and Shlomo Weber provide for the first time in one volume a complete, well-rounded, and essential look at the complex, emerging Russian economy.

Book Synopsis Transition to Agricultural Market Economies by : Andrew Schmitz
Download or read book Transition to Agricultural Market Economies written by Andrew Schmitz and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book offers information on the agricultural economy of Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine (KRU region). It covers a wide range of relevant issues, such as agricultural policies that affect production and trade, the privatization of land markets, the optimal use of fertilizers and other inputs, and the role of cooperatives. A number of sectors are examined, including poultry, dairy, fruits, and vegetables. However, particular attention is paid to the potential expansion of the region's grain sector and why the KRU region emerged during the 2000s as a major grain exporter, and its potential to further expand grain production and exports. The authors of the book's 23 chapters include scholars from Europe, the USA and Canada who are working with collaborators in the KRU countries. By broadening the knowledge and understanding of the constraints, potentials and policy trade-offs that will determine the agricultural development and trade performance of the KRU countries, this book serves as an important resource for global stakeholders focused on food security and food markets and for the scholarly community that analyses the workings and evolution of these markets."--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Agricultural transition in Russia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe: Ten lessons for Venezuela by : Brooks, Karen
Download or read book Agricultural transition in Russia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe: Ten lessons for Venezuela written by Brooks, Karen and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years have elapsed since the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The collapse of political structures took with it regimes of highly administered management of agri-food systems. The shift from state management to markets has been generally known as the agricultural transition. The term is most frequently used in reference to the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, but key features of a move from dominant state intervention to greater reliance on markets characterized reforms in China after 1978, Vietnam in 1986 and thereafter, and many countries in Africa south of the Sahara during the years of structural adjustment in the 1990s. The policy reforms that constitute an agricultural transition are intrinsically difficult and made even more so when undertaken under conditions of crisis-induced chaos. Lessons from countries that have undergone the process might be of use, either as guidance or cautionary notes, to leaders and civil society groups in countries such as Venezuela that may be embarking on a transition or swept into one by circumstance. The paragraphs below attempt to summarize lessons from the early transition in Russia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe in the 1990s.
Book Synopsis Russia's Agriculture in Transition by : Zvi Lerman
Download or read book Russia's Agriculture in Transition written by Zvi Lerman and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia's Agriculture in Transition: Factor Markets and Constraints on Growth examines the development of factor markets in Russian agriculture during the transition to a market economy and analyzes the impact of existing constraints on agricultural growth. It is the outcome of a 3-year study conducted with the support of BASIS/CRSP by an international team that included researchers from Russia, the United States, and Israel. The study focused specifically on the development of factor markets in Russian agriculture--markets for labor, purchased inputs, land, and credit. In the literature on transition agriculture, this book is the first devoted explicitly to markets for farm inputs, instead of markets for farm products. It is also unique in its integration of official statistical data with the findings of a large questionnaire-based survey designed to cover issues of agricultural land, labor, supply and use of purchased inputs, access to credit, and--ultimately--farm production with a view to efficiency estimations. Russia's Agriculture in Transition will be of great interest to development economists, agricultural economists, transition scholars, and international donor organizations, in addition to scholars and students of many other related disciplines.

Book Synopsis Rural Adaptation in Russia by : Stephen K. Wegren
Download or read book Rural Adaptation in Russia written by Stephen K. Wegren and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current dominant approach to Russian peasant behaviour emphasizes rural resistance to reform in broad terms, and to the introduction of market forces in particular. Bringing together some of the finest scholars on rural Russia, this groundbreaking volume examines this perception with an analysis of both historical and contemporary patterns of rural adaptation in Russia. Four articles included analyze peasant responses in the post-Soviet era, and focus on: * the relationship between poverty and rural adaptation * the social origins of private farmers in southern Russia and Ukraine * response patterns by large farms (formerly collective and state farms) * household adaptation using a standardized set of criteria. This fascinating book gives an illuminating picture of the ways in which peasants respond to new environmental conditions and stimuli created by reform. The substantive material included draws on fieldwork and survey data collected from rural Russia, from the Stolypin reforms in the pre-Soviet era, and collectivisation of agriculture during the 1930s in the Soviet era. This book was previously as a special issue of The Journal of Peasant Studies.
Book Synopsis Modelling Russia's Economy in Transition by : Peter Wehrheim
Download or read book Modelling Russia's Economy in Transition written by Peter Wehrheim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was published in 2003.This text analyses the economy-wide effects of various trade and economic policies that have affected Russia's transition from plan to market in the past decade. The issues discussed relate to the allocative effects of macro-economic reforms (exchange rate alterations) or reforms in the agro-food sector which have affected Russia's economy in transition. To facilitate the analysis an economy-wide model of Russia's economy is developed. The model is a computable general equilibrium model and as such is the economist's version of a laboratory in which it is possible to conduct policy experiments. Due to the transitory stage of the Russian economy the model is different from other such models for industrialized countries. It takes into account some specific circumstances of the transition process which are elaborated in detail: parts of the informal or hidden economy are represented; market imperfections which are the result of institutional constraints are taken into consideration as are structural rigidities such as immobile capital and disequilibria in labour markets.
Book Synopsis Revitalizing Russian Industry by : James D. Gaisford
Download or read book Revitalizing Russian Industry written by James D. Gaisford and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a guide to the progress made thus far in the transformation of Russian industry from exclusive reliance on state enterprises during the communist era to modern-oriented private sector firms. Further, it outlines the remaining constraints to the full transition of Russia into a modern market economy and how to remove those constraints in the future. The book combines theoretical discussions and real world experiences relating to post-communist Russian industrial development. Case studies of centrally important Russian industries wound out the book's approach. The book is the result of a long-term collaboration between Russian authors and authors based in modern market economies. Hence, it draws upon the expertise of those who have directly experienced Russian industry in transition as well as those who can put that experience within the larger context of the process of transition in a range of former communist countries.
