Critical Letter Writing and Deliberation During the Brezhnev Era
This article analyses letters sent by Soviet citizens to newspapers and authorities during the Brezhnev era, supposedly a period of political stagnation. Citizens wrote critical letters, individually and collectively, signed and anonymously, to have problems solved. Authorities responded to citizen concerns, which were mostly very specific and non-systemic, and also used the letters to monitor public opinion. The practice of letter writing in the…
Chronicle, Crusade, and the Latin East
Remembering Outremer in the West
The article offers the first detailed study of a hitherto underappreciated narrative of the early years of Latin Settlement in Outremer following the First Crusade (1095–99), the Secunda pars historiae Iherosolimitane, often attributed to Lisiard of Tours. Taking inspiration from methodological developments in the field of “Crusade Studies” that have emphasized the narratives relating to this movement as crucial “cultural artifacts” of Latin Chri…
William of Tyre, Translatio Imperii and the Genesis of the First Crusade
The article offers a contribution to wider dialogues on history creation and the analytical superstructures that influence how authors use the past to construct and legitimise identities tied to conquest and settlement. It takes as its case study the twelfth‐century Chronicon of the Jerusalemite writer William of Tyre, and his crafting of an account of the First Crusade that demonstrated the legal validity of the new Latin polities created in the…
Theorising the religious borders of the Latin East
Situated on the far reaches of Latin Christendom, the crusader states witnessed daily contact between numerous religious groupings, both between subjected peoples and their Frankish rulers, and regarding travellers passing in and out of the latter’s territories. Though this most obviously included Muslim communities, it also meant engaging with Eastern Christian populations whose presence far pre-dated, and extended beyond the limits of, Frankish…
Settlement, Identity, and Memory in the Latin East
In a recent article, Christopher MacEvitt posited that historians should eschew the term ‘crusader states’ to describe the four polities formed in the Levant and Syria as a result of the First Crusade (the kingdom of Jerusalem, the principality of Antioch, and the counties of Edessa and Tripoli), arguing that crusading and its remembrance had little influence in the east, and so these states should not be viewed as extensions of the west. This pa…
William of Tyre, Femininity, and the Problem of the Antiochene Princesses
This article examines the representation of women and femininity in Archbishop William of Tyre's Chronicon . It considers how his text was shaped by contemporary Western ideas of gender, and how this impacted upon his presentation of women, especially Queen Melisende of Jerusalem and three Antiochene princesses, Alice, Constance and Sybil. It argues that, in doing so, we can raise important questions regarding his use for empirical reconstruction…
Dynasty and diaspora in the Latin East
Though primarily a pious exercise, the First Crusade formed part of a broader medieval ‘aristocratic diaspora’ – a movement often attributed to those from Normandy – and offered enterprising figures the chance of a new life in the East. This article examines how one such figure, the Italo-Norman Robert of Sourdeval, whose wider kinship group was also found throughout the Anglo-Norman world, forged a career in the newly formed Crusader States. It …
The Corporate Networks and Symbolic Capital of British Business Leaders
Has globalization diminished the cohesion and influence of British corporate elites? I draw on data from The Times' ranking of British business elites in the years preceding the 2008 financial crisis to address this question. The analysis finds elites with royal titles, Oxbridge educations, and English identities are not especially central in director networks. Despite being cohesive, director networks are globally diverse and the symbols of the …
Politics and diplomacy in the Latin East
One of four “crusader states” formed following the First Crusade, the principality of Antioch was built on turbulent foundations. Its Latin settlers faced not only various Islamic powers, they also had to contend with the Byzantine Empire, whose rulers claimed the city and its environs for themselves; the Armenian Christians of Cilicia; and the rival machinations of the other Frankish states, particularly the kingdom of Jerusalem. The instability…

Between Byzantium and Jerusalem? The principality of Antioch, Renaud of Châtillon, and the penance of Mamistra in 1158
In the summer of 1158, Manuel I Komnenos, emperor of Byzantium, brought a large force into Cilicia to quell Armenian resistance and to seek retribution for an attack launched on the Byzantine island of Cyprus by Renaud of Châtillon, prince of Antioch. In haste, Renaud came to the city of Mamistra, and performed a humiliating penance before agreeing to imperial overlordship. Historians have long conceived of this act as one forced on Renaud by Man…
Network Mobilization and the Origins of the Putin Coalition
How the Putin coalition rose to dominance remains a contested question. Theories of mobilization argue that organizational networks are important to the founding and success of political coalitions. Comparison of the organizational networks of rival coalitions in the city of Tambov provides insights into their origins and how they mobilize supporters. The Putin coalition drew on previously existing political structures that had been gaining stren…
Elite networks and worldviews during the Yel'tsin years
Conflict characterised Russian elite politics during the Yel'tsin years. This article adopts a network approach to understand the sources of elite contention in one Russian locality between 1994 and 2000. The findings suggest that elite conflict during the Yel'tsin years had its roots in structural and cultural forces deeper than control over official positions and differences in socio-demographic characteristics. The article reveals that elites …
Coalition Politics in a Postsocialist Russian City, 1994–2000 1
An in‐depth case study of a Russian urban area explores the city’s difficult democratic transition by analyzing changes in the network of civic affiliations among polity members. The research develops ideal‐typical coalitional structures to understand this troubled transition. The case study uses data from membership lists of civic organizations to draw conclusions about the coalitional structure and its effects on democratic outcomes. This demon…
