Reviews
Stefania S. Miller, Department of Political Science, McMaster University:
'Shocking Mother Russia is an important empirical case study and a major contribution to the literature on post-communist transition and new democracies. It is also extremely relevant to the scholarly and policy debate on pensions as a human rights issue, and the attempts by governments of established and new democracies to deal with the fiscal challenges of an aging population.'
