Liberal Reform in an Illiberal Regime: The Creation of Private Property in Russia, 1906-1915

By Stephen F. Williams

An examination of property rights reforms in Russia before the revolution reveals the advantages and pitfalls of liberal democracy in action--from a government that could be described as neither liberal nor democratic. The author analyzes whether truly liberal reform can be effectively established from above versus from the bottom up--or whether it is simply a product of exceptional historical circumstances.
