Risks and Constraints of Sub-Federal Politics in Russia under Vladimir Putin
Russia’s political system can be best understood as an electoral patronal regime in which key actors are organized into a single pyramid of authority that dominates the political arena, particularly in the ethnic republics. It is argued that the asymmetric federalization of post-Soviet Russia and centralization of governance were stabilizing for the state because, during the tumultuous transition from Communism, they have acted as counterweights …
How far is too far? Circassian ethnic mobilization and the redrawing of internal borders in the North Caucasus
The idea of redrawing the borders between the republics of the region remains a topic of discussion beyond its borders. While the Kremlin de facto makes the subject of territorial changes in the North Caucasus taboo, the processes related to the rise of ethnic selfconsciousness in ethnic republics hardly stopped. The Syrian crisis, which gave Russia a much-celebrated diplomatic victory, threatens its territorial integrity because Moscow’s mishand…
Between hearts and minds
Although Russian authorities point to the supposed success of Britain's late colonial counter-insurgency campaigns as a model even in the 21st century, their grasp of the historical lessons is partial at best. This article considers the applicability and relevance of the counter-insurgency experience of the late British colonial state to present-day ethno-religious conflicts in the North Caucasus. The article suggests that the flexibility of Brit…
The Consolidation of Chechen Ethnic Nationalism and Its Perception in Post-Soviet Russia
The emergence of an autocratic regime in Chechnya, traditionally structured on polycentric elites from clans and regions, has been just one outcome of President Putin’s ethnic policies based on personal loyalty. The paper addresses this puzzle: why, against rigorous rhetoric and demonstration of tight control over Chechnya, this region is already de facto separated from Russia? Concentrating on the question of ethnicity and its relation to democr…
Farewell to the Caucasus
One of the most lingering questions about Russian politics that dominates public discourse and media coverage is the future of political regime after the 2012 presidential elections. The answer to this question is inextricably linked to the extent of differences between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, how long their “tandemocracy” will last and what can bring about regime change as scarce critics of the Kremlin, from …
The Puzzle of a Loyal Minority
Ever since its inception, the state of Iran has been pressed with the challenge of integrating the multiple ethnic identities that make up its plural society. In contrast to a number of other minorities like the Kurds and the Baluchis, the Azeris have shown loyalty to the Iranian state to the surprise of foreign scholars and policy makers. They have done so even in spite of a number of potentially favorable political and economic conditions that …
