  • Welfare Reforms in Post-Soviet States: a Comparison
    WELFARE REFORMS IN POST-SOVIET STATES: A COMPARISON OF SOCIAL BENEFITS REFORM IN RUSSIA AND KAZAKHSTAN by ELENA MALTSEVA A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Elena Maltseva (2012) Welfare Reforms in Post-Soviet States: A Comparison of Social Benefits Reform in Russia and Kazakhstan Elena Maltseva Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto (2012) Abstract: Concerned with the question of why governments display varying degrees of success in implementing social reforms, (judged by their ability to arrive at coherent policy outcomes), my dissertation aims to identify the most important factors responsible for the stagnation of social benefits reform in Russia, as opposed to its successful implementation in Kazakhstan. Given their comparable Soviet political and economic characteristics in the immediate aftermath of Communism’s disintegration, why did the implementation of social benefits reform succeed in Kazakhstan, but largely fail in Russia? I argue that although several political and institutional factors did, to a certain degree, influence the course of social benefits reform in these two countries, their success or failure was ultimately determined by the capacity of key state actors to frame the problem and form an effective policy coalition that could further the reform agenda despite various political and institutional obstacles and socioeconomic challenges. In the case of Kazakhstan, the successful implementation of the social benefits reform was a result of a bold and skillful endeavour by Kazakhstani authorities, who used the existing conditions to justify the reform initiative and achieve the reform’s original objectives.

  • About the International Renaissance Foundation
    2006 About the International Renaissance Foundation An open society is a society based on the recognition of the fact that no one has a monopoly on the truth, that diff erent people have diff erent views and interests, that good arguments should be heard by society and that there is a need for institutions open to striving toward perfection, defending the rights of all peo- ple and giving them a chance to live together in peace and accord. Th e term “open society” was introduced by the philosopher Karl Popper in his book “Th e Open Society and Its Enemies” published in 1945. Th e main traits of an open society include the rule of law, a democratically elected government, institutions of civil society and protection of minority rights. Th e International Renaissance Foundation (IRF) has been active since 1990. It is an integral part of the Open Society In- stitute foundation network established by George Soros and incorporates national and regional foundations in more than thirty countries around the world, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union. Th e Founda- tion sees its mission in the fi nancial and institutional promotion of the building of an open democratic society in Ukraine by supporting civil initiatives vital for its development. Th e funds operated by IRF are mainly granted by its founder George Soros. Th e Foundation also relies on international donors and various Ukrainian and foreign organizations and individuals. Both the transparency of the Foundation’s spon- sorship and charitable activities and an understanding of its importance contribute to funds granted by IRF for building an open, democratic society being distributed by the society’s members represented in IRF’s Executive Board and Program Boards themselves.

  • Russian Strategy Towards Ukraine's Presidential Election
    BULLETIN No. 49 (49) August 19, 2009 © PISM Editors: Sławomir Dębski (Editor-in-Chief), Łukasz Adamski, Mateusz Gniazdowski, Beata Górka-Winter, Leszek Jesień, Agnieszka Kondek (Executive Editor), Łukasz Kulesa, Ernest Wyciszkiewicz Russian Strategy towards Ukraine’s Presidential Election by Jarosław Ćwiek-Karpowicz Dmitry Medvedev’s letter to Viktor Yushchenko is a clear signal of Russia’s intention to influ- ence internal developments in Ukraine, including the course of the presidential campaign. In the run-up to the January 2010 poll, unlike in the period preceding the Orange Revolution, Russia will very likely refrain from backing just a single candidate, and instead will seek a deepening of the existing divisions and further destabilization on the Ukrainian political scene, destabilization which it sees as helping to protect Russian interests in Ukraine. Medvedev’s Letter. In an open letter to Viktor Yushchenko, dated 11 August, Dmitry Medvedev put the blame for the crisis in bilateral relations on the Ukrainian president, and he explained that the arrival of the new ambassador to Kiev, Mikhail Zurabov—replacing Viktor Chernomyrdin, who was recalled last June—would be postponed. Medvedev accused his Ukrainian counterpart of having knowingly abandoned the principles of friendship and partnership with Russia during the past several years. Among the Yushchenko administration’s alleged anti-Russian actions, he listed weapons shipments and support extended to Georgia in last year’s armed conflict in South Ossetia; endeavors to gain

  • Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017
    Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017 Monday 23 January - Thursday 2 February 2017 Round 6 Report: Sunday 29 January 2017 - by John Saunders (@JohnChess) Battle Royal on the Rock Round six of the Tradewise Gibraltar Masters proved remarkably bloodthirsty as the top seven boards (and fifteen of the top twenty boards) ended in decisive results. Three leaders emerged victorious from the smoking carnage to stand together on 5½/6: Hikaru Nakamura, still on course for a third successive title, English number one Mickey Adams, and Spain's 21-year-old star David Anton Guijarro. But the highlight of the day was the defeat of the world number two Fabiano Caruana by a reinvigorated Nigel Short. Maxime Lagarde of France seemed to have good chances of holding against Nakamura until about move 28 when 28...c4 would have been an improvement but, slightly short of time, he allowed this important pawn to drop off and resigned when his a-pawn was similarly doomed. Hikaru Nakamura playing Maxime Lagarde After playing and defeating the women's world champion the previous round Mickey Adams found himself up against the women's world number two Ju Wenjun today. I believe I proffered some advice about not taking Ju Wenjun's e-pawn in an earlier report. In fact, Mickey did do this but only after the e-pawn had captured and become a d5-pawn. I'm not sure whether that counts. Anyway, Mickey was already well on course for victory by the time this occurred and he later expressed relief that he finally managed a shorter game than his previous marathon encounters.
