Description
Examines the impact of poverty, inequality and social programmes in Russia, exploring these issues from the 1990s to the present day.
The approach is based on institutional theory, complemented by Amartya Sen's capability approach highlighting the importance of agency and an institutional framework as a means for change.
The emphasis on agency, female responsibility and the role of NGOs is a significant contribution to the field.
