African Narratives of Slavery and Abolition
This unique and rich collection of narratives, written or dictated by formerly enslaved Africans between 1820 and 1876, offers a rare snapshot of African voices in the history of slavery.Including narratives from the Atlantic and Indian Ocean trades, as well as testimonies from enslaved people who never left the African continent, it expands the chronological and geographical scope of known accounts of enslavement, highlights the few but importan…
Discourse and strategic continuity from Gorbachev through Putin
Discourse analysis reveals that Mikhail Gorbachev as General Secretary and his successors as Russian presidents have practiced a shared strategy of metaphorical – not spatial – centrism that has gradually slid the state from dictatorship toward democracy. Preservation of a political center for himself and his successors to occupy made it necessary for Boris Yeltsin to dismantle the USSR if elections in Russia were to continue. At the same time, f…
When the center can hold
Violations of rights, a weak Duma, political parties dominated by bureaucrats, and corrupt privatization are ordinarily taken as signs or even causes of the failure of democracy in Russia or at best as normal traits of electoral politics in a middle-income state. Yet all of these are natural consequences of introducing democracy in a country with the Russian electorate’s distinctive recent experience of a loss of a third of the state’s territory …

Russia's Road to Deeper Democracy
Tom BjorkmanWashington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2003, x, 141pp, US$39.95 cloth (ISBN 0-8157-0898-X), US$16.95 paper (ISBN 0-8157-0899-8)Tom Bjorkman takes on those who see authoritarianism as the wave of Russia's future. Agreeing with the consensus that the Putin presidency has seen a substantial retrenchment from the gains in human rights and electoral democracy achieved with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Bjorkman also detects count…
Postcommunism and the Theory of Democracy
Why did the wave of democracy that swept the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe starting more than a decade ago develop in ways unexpected by observers who relied on existing theories of democracy? In Postcommunism and the Theory of Democracy, four distinguished scholars conduct the first major assessment of democratization theory in light of the experience of postcommunist states. Richard Anderson, Steven Fish, Stephen Hanson, and Philip Roe…
Metaphors of Dictatorship and Democracy
Metaphors act as cues to social identities. Political discourse that communicates the distinctiveness of the rulers' identity sustains authoritarianism by cueing people to act as either oppressors or oppressed, while political discourse that cues identification by citizens with politicians promotes democracy by encouraging people to participate. In Politburo speeches from the era of Soviet authoritarianism, metaphors of size, superiority, distanc…
The place of the media in popular democracy
Does media coverage of politics undermine democratic deliberation? By covering the "horse race" instead of the issues, the media encourage people to believe that politicians place self‐interest above the public interest. The media also affect which issues people consider important, and negative advertisements discourage political participation. People learn from the media only because they know so little about politics. Were democracy deliberativ…
Rhetoric and rationality
Speech and Democracy in Russia
Theories ascribing democracy to inclusive contestation imply that the speech of authoritarian rulers will differ from the speech of electoral politicians. Authoritarian rulers will use an official language that insulates them from populations under their control. This official language insults subject populations by implying that the vernacular in which they formulate their thoughts is inadequate for the discussion of political ideas. Electoral p…
"Look at all those nouns in a row"—authoritarianism, democracy, and the iconicity of political Russian
A linguistic evolution that is encountered repeatedly in transitions from authoritarianism to democracy is recurring in contemporary Russia. A very frequent, and perhaps universal, feature of authoritarianism is the confinement of political deliberation to a language markedly separate from the vernaculars spoken by populations under authoritarian rule. Transitions toward democracy, whether ultimately successful or failing, commonly begin when som…
Khrushchev's Double Bind
Words Matter
How does language influence politics? Usually when this question is posed, it is understood to concern relations within a polity among communities whose members speak different languages. Our concern, however, is what contribution politicians' language may make to the choice between authoritarianism or democracy. Of course, we reject any reduction of that determination to language alone.The study of change in political Russian during the Soviet a…
Russia ? old wine in a new bottle? The circulation and reproduction of Russian elites, 1983?1993
Public Politics in an Authoritarian State
Richard D. Anderson's work on elite political competition within the Soviet Union combines ingenious textual analysis of symbolic politics with a theoretical inquiry into the competitive dynamics of the Brezhnev Politburo's foreign policy making.
Explaining Self-Defeating Foreign Policy Decisions
How should we explain why a state sometimes adopts a foreign policy in one region that interferes with its concurrent policies elsewhere? In their article in the March 1989 issue of this Review , Stewart, Hermann and Hermann proposed a three-level process model of foreign policy to explain such Soviet behavior towards Egypt in 1973. The analysis has continuing interest because it interprets the puzzling behavior as a manifestation of general prob…
