Arguing that such practices constitute important indicators in assessing models of government, the third volume in the trilogy, Can Russia Modernise: Putin's System, Power Networks and Informal Governance (2013), focuses on the role of clientele networks in informal governance, an emerging supra-national concern, and on the demands that network-based governance systems make on political leaderships.
Med udgangspunkt i argumentet, at sådanne praksisser udgør vigtige indikatorer i vurderingen af modeller for regeringsførelse, fokuserer det tredje bind, Can Russia Modernise: Putin's System, Power Networks and Informal Governance (2013), på klientelnetværkers rolle i uformel regeringsførelse - hvilket er en tiltagende international bekymring - samt på de krav netværks-baserede systemer for regeringsførelse påfører politisk lederskab.
