Russia, Eurasia and the Meaning of Crimea
The essay analyses Russia’s historical goals in Eurasia and argues that the geopolitical meaning of Russia’s annexation of Crimea is closely related to the Kremlin’s ambition to play a key role in structuring the region. Russia’s determination to remain a major power, along with the global power transition from the West-centred to an increasingly regionalised world, make Russia’s return to Eurasia important. The return to Eurasia has demonstrated…
Crafting the State-Civilization Vladimir Putin’s Turn to Distinct Values
Since the Soviet disintegration, Russians have engaged in discussions of what constitutes their system of distinct values. Today the language of a “distinct civilization” is widely employed by top officials. This paper seeks to understand this discourse of distinctiveness as shaped by both history and politics. It studies the ideological shift by employing analysis of speeches by major officials and meaningful historical parallels. Like earlier h…
Vladimir Putin's last stand
The paper studies Russia's Ukraine policy since the Orange Revolution. Russia's policy toward its western neighbor has evolved from unhappy relations with Victor Yushchenko to rapprochement with Victor Yanukovich and then confrontation over the revolutionary power change in Kiev in February 2014. The paper argues that Vladimir Putin's actions following February revolution in Kiev demonstrate both change and continuity in Russia's foreign policy. …
The Limits of Partnership
Risks and Opportunities of Crossing the Academy/Policy Divide
Editors' Note:The theme statement of the 2007 annual meeting of the International Studies Association challenged scholars to reflect on their responsibility to the policy world and the wider policy community. It asked whether those of us in the academy have a responsibility to seek political and social change by working for national governments and international organizations or whether such work results in unacceptable compromises with our polit…
Pluralism or isolation of Civilisations? Russia's foreign policy discourse and the reception of Huntington's paradigm of the post-cold war world
This paper studies the effects of Samuel Huntington's ‘Clash of Civilisations’ thesis on Russian foreign policy discourse. In response to Huntington's thesis, two major currents of Russia's foreign policy thinking ‐ Liberals and Nationalists ‐ are identified, both of which are critical of the thesis. The two groups offer diametrically opposed alternatives to Huntington's paradigm of the post‐Cold War world. The Liberal‐Nationalist controversy ref…
Manifestations of Delegative Democracy in Russian Local Politics
In attempts to describe post-communist politics adequately, this paper employs the concept of delegative democracy for analyzing Russia's local politics. It argues that the election rather than appointment by the President of local governors in Russia has facilitated the establishment of a system which can be generally described as delegative democracy. This regime inherits free and contested elections from the democratic system and non-democrati…
