Could European Business Norms Have Led to the Greening of Russia? The Example of Nornickel
In this article I analyse Russia’s Nornickel conglomerate and its relationship with the German BASF firm and the Global Battery Alliance, testing whether potential EU business partnerships can convince even heavily polluting private firms in non-environmentalist authoritarian states to adopt greener policies. I conclude that while Nornickel has engaged in greenwashing, it has also adopted some significant reforms, probably in hopes of new profit,…
Upsetting the Balance
Whither Wagner? The Consequences of Prigozhin’s Mutiny and Demise
The mutiny and death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of Russia's Wagner Group paramilitary outfit, has created great uncertainty about how Russia will manage paramilitary organisations going forward. Wagner has played a key role in expanding Russian influence in the Middle East and Africa at relatively low cost, while keeping official casualty counts limited in Ukraine and Syria in particular. The group or some version of it, whether unified or …

Russia’s Back in Africa
Following the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, Moscow allowed its Cold War presence in Africa to atrophy. It closed nine embassies, three consulates, and a variety of trade missions and student e
Russia’s use of semi-state security forces
This article provides a definitive, in-depth case-study, using primarily Russian sources, of Russia’s use of the informal “Wagner Group” private military company (PMC) and its antecedents (from 2012 to 2018) in Nigeria, Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, Syria, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. It explores why Russia has used this group without legalizing its existence or role. While Wagner is sometimes used in the same ways that other rational s…
Reckless ambition
Reconsidering Nato expansion
This article re-examines the history of NATO’s original post-Cold War enlargement to include the Visegrad states of Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. It uses both published materials and the author’s new interviews with key US and Russian policymakers, and employs robust qualitative counterfactual methods to ask two questions: whether there were any realistic alternatives to NATO enlargement, and whether NATO enlargement was responsible fo…
Exploring Conflict Dynamics
One of the most important turns in security studies has been the turn to understanding the dynamics of contention, violence, and conflict. As several articles in the first special issue of JoGSS pointed out, the global nature of security studies has led to more actors and more complicated dynamics than have typically been assumed in the security studies field. In different ways, all of the articles in this issue highlight important—and often unde…
Piracy, Censorship, First Impressions, and Support for the Draft in the United States
The final issue of JoGSS’ first volume begins with paired articles on piracy and ends with a forum on censorship. These bracket an innovative argument about the importance of first impressions for threat perception and a careful empirical analysis of why support for the draft in the United States has waned. The articles in this issue showcase a wide variety of methods, many different theoretical starting points, and engage both contemporary and h…

Putin’s Kleptocracy
Karen Dawisha has compiled the most comprehensive catalog imaginable of criminal allegations against Russian president Vladimir Putin: his purported embezzlement of state funds, use of violence against political enemies, and links to organized crime. She cites sources in English, Russian, Spanish, and German (including Russian material that disappeared from the Internet, now reposted on her Web site at Miami University of Ohio), as well as archiv…
Informal Political Networks and Putin’s Foreign Policy
While many analysts use an informal political network perspective to describe Russian domestic politics under Vladimir Putin, almost none have applied that framework to Russian foreign policy. This article explains why Russia is a useful case to use in developing such a framework, and then proposes a preliminary set of arguments about what a foreign policy based on informal politics would look like. While a realism or state interest framework sti…

Russian President Vladimir Putin's evolving policies toward Ukraine have continued to surprise almost everyone. It was clear from the start that he considered the February 2014 ouster of Ukrainian
Reformed or Deformed? Patronage Politics, International Influence, and the Palestinian Authority Security Forces
A great deal of international attention and funding was given to reform and training of the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF), starting with the Oslo Accords process in 1993 and accelerating with the advent of Fayyadism and the expulsion of the Palestinian Authority government from Gaza in 2007. Many donors and other supporters in the US, the EU, and Israel claimed this process as a success story, and indeed from 2008–2010 local condit…
Practicing Stalinism
In this brilliant new book, J. Arch Getty upends the idea that the Soviet Union was ever governed by a hierarchical or bureaucratic Communist Party. Instead, he argues, an informal, personal patronage system of networked politics endured from the rise of the Muscovite princes in the fifteenth century, straight through to President Vladimir Putin today. While the players changed, as did the social backgrounds and “clans” that defined them, the pra…
From Kabul to Kandahar
This article analyzes the civil-military and political-bureaucratic issues and relationships, both conflictual and cooperative, surrounding the deployment of the Canadian Forces to Kandahar. It examines the role played by former Chief of Defence Staff General Rick Hillier in the Kandahar decision, and chronicles the development and fate of two of Hillier's organizational innovations, CEFCOM and SAT-A. It also explores the efforts of the Manley Pa…

Statebuilding and Force
Recent military interventions, both peace operations authorized by the United Nations and actions by individual countries, have aimed at helping build new or reconstituted states. The legitimacy and success of these state-building interventions are often contested by local actors. Yet state-like structures are needed to ensure the rule of law and economic growth. This paper argues for a new approach: to direct the use of foreign force toward role…
Warlordism in Comparative Perspective
Warlordism creates significant problems in failed states: it impedes the development of stable and secure societies, thwarts economic growth, and creates new threats to international security. Through a comparative study of four seemingly disparate cases—medieval Europe, Republican China, and Somalia and Afghanistan in the mid-2000s—it is possible to develop an inductive, generalizable definition of warlordism. Warlordism emerges when armed men s…
Russian Efforts to Control Kazakhstan's Oil
A political scientist examines Russia's attempts to control Kazakhstan's oil, investigating both the authorities' definitions of Russia's state interests and individual profit motives. Kazakhstan's domestic politics and pipeline infrastructure are highlighted. A case-study of the strategically located Kumkol oilfield is presented, focusing on relations between the PetroKazakhstan company, LUKoil, and Chinese and Kazakhstani state-owned oil firms.…
Immigration Phobia and the Security Dilemma
Base Motives
The Japanese prefecture of Okinawa has witnessed a great deal of protest activity against the U.S. military bases on the island. Antibase sentiment is regularly expressed by the local press and the local cultural and educational institutions. A brutal 1995 crime committed by U.S. military personnel on the island inflamed public opinion against the bases. Yet the U.S. base presence endures, and the antibase activity of the late 1990s was defused r…

Enforcing the Peace
Anarchy makes it easy for terrorists to set up shop. Yet the international community has been reluctant to commit the necessary resources to peacekeeping—with devastating results locally and around the globe. This daring new work argues that modern peacekeeping operations and military occupations bear a surprising resemblance to the imperialism practiced by liberal states a century ago. Motivated by a similar combination of self-interested and hu…
