Policy Processes, Societal Engagement, and Regime Support
Tue, November 26, 12:00 to 1:45pm, San Francisco Marriott Marquis, Floor: LB2, Salon 4Session Submission Type: Panel
Brief Description
This paper provides a multi-disciplinary discussion of the role that social policy plays in political and social development in contemporary autocratic regimes. The focus of this work in on labor, housing, and pension policy in contemporary Russia. The papers explore how regimes use social policy to build majorities, co-opt leaders and civic organizations, and reinforce existing beliefs and institutions. However, these papers also illustrate that in the longer term, social policies have unintended consequences that marginalize key constituencies and lead to a growing gap between state and society.
