Contents/Summary

Summary
This book analyses the reasons for an increasing drive toward centralized control of policy in the Soviet Union. It examines both the institutional framework and changes in crucial policy areas. It argues that a fragmented vertical power structure involving the three bureaucracies of Party, ministries and the city and regional soviets has been unproductive. It shows how group interests have moulded and adapted policies and how the Party's initiative centralizing policy has been thwarted. Also outlining the significance of the industrial base in determining local budgets and the provision of amenities, as opposed to overtly political factors.
