The Decentralization of Decision-Making Institutions in the Era of Market Reforms, 1990–2002

Michele L. Crumley

Chapter 5 in Sowing Market Reforms, 2013, pp 79-92 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The previous chapter demonstrated that during the Soviet era economic interests and policy preferences of Russian agricultural producers were constrained by the dual administrative hierarchy of the CPSU and Soviet government bureaucracy. Moreover, economic interests of actors in the agrarian sector could not be realized vis-à-vis international trade because the centrally planned economy obfuscated opportunity costs and price shifts. The twilight years of the Soviet Union, however, showed promising signs of creating new economic interests for institutional change within the agrarian sector. Legislative changes in 1990 and the freeing of prices in 1992 introduced political and economic reforms that ultimately allowed for a diffusion of interests to emerge in decision-making institutions and among Russian agricultural producers.
