Russian federalism and Siberian regionalism, 1990–2000

Manuel Castells and Emma Kiselyova

City, 2000, vol. 4, issue 2, 175-198

Abstract: What are the likely outcomes of the current Russian period of transition? What can an overall analysis of the various forces and levels of action contribute to our understanding of the prospects for civic responsibilities and territorial identies in a context of globalization? In a pioneering account of the complexities of the 'regionalized, variable geometry' of the Russian developments of the last decade, Manuel Castells and Emma Kiselyova map the process of the primitive accumulation of power and resources that is taking place at the federal level and in each city and region, highlight the decisive importance of the Siberian region, and argue that Russia is poised between two major possibilities: a strong, centralized state that will coopt the forces of cultural and territorial identies; or moves towards a form of network state that will include these forces so as to 'reconstruct, develop and democratize Russia in the context of a globalized economy and a network society'.
