Russia - in search of a model of a political regime : ''Western polyarchy'' or ''Asian democracy''
Abstract
One of the fields of interest of modern political science involves the process of
transformation of political systems, understood as the transition from nondemocratic
to democratic systems. One of the countries undergoing such a political transformation is the Russian Federation, which in the nineteen-nineties faced the need to reject
the model of the socio-political system of the Soviet Union, and to adjust to the
emerging global civilization dominated by the models originating in West European
countries. The paper emphasizes that, on account of the difficulties related to the process of political transformation, at the beginning of the new millennium West
European models began to be supplanted by the models of Asian countries enjoying
impressive economic growth while maintaining paternalist and authoritarian mechanisms of power. The author of the paper stresses that the political system of the
modern Russian Federation is a particular mix of European and Asian models. Its
functioning does not resemble the political regimes of polyarchy as much as those
described as ‘Asian democracies’. The author indicates that given the present developmental stage of the Russian Federation, this models appears to be more practical
and adequate in the political and cultural reality of modern Russia.
