Why Ukraine Shouldn't Negotiate with Putin
Those promising a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine operate under the mistaken assumption that there exists some combination of territorial and policy compromises that would satisfy all sides and bring about a stable long-term peace. In fact, the conflict is more intractable than ever: Bargaining models of war termination predict that peace negotiations are likely to fail. Win, lose, or draw, the war will be settled on the battlefield, not at …
Back to the future
What has happened to the spectre of Russian hybrid warfare that once haunted strategists, policy-makers and scholars? Many of the characteristics of Russia's 2014 invasion of Crimea have been absent in Moscow's current war, prompting some to wonder whether Russia has moved beyond 'hybrid warfare' as it wages a brutal conventional war in Ukraine. Scholars and practitioners should not pack up their hybrid war handbooks just yet, however. The need t…
What Putin Fears Most
Russian president Vladimir Putin wants you to believe that NATO is responsible for his February 24 invasion of Ukraine—that rounds of NATO enlargement made Russia insecure, forcing Putin to lash out. This argument has two key flaws. First, NATO has been a variable and not a constant source of tension between Russia and the West. Moscow has in the past acknowledged Ukraine's right to join NATO; the Kremlin's complaints about the alliance spike in …
The Deep Impact of Economic Collapse on Democratic Support
What is democracy? To many citizens of post-Soviet countries it is synonymous with the disorder, instability, chaos, and hardship that was widespread throughout the 1990s. Importantly, these beliefs have been remarkably durable despite the subsequent economic recovery. While strong majorities remain supportive of democracy, the dynamics of transition have resulted in a subpopulation that is quite skeptical of democracy’s ability to deliver on its…
The Political Consequences of Economic Shocks
This paper evaluates long-term political consequences of severe economic shocks by combining a nationally-representative survey of Russians’ political behaviors with long-term subnational economic data tracing Russia’s post-Soviet economic transition. We show that the shock of transition has durably activated a limited but important sub-population of Russians while deactivating others. Surprisingly, much of the variation in contemporary political…
Balance of threat
During the 17 years that Vladimir Putin has ruled Russia, the country has become increasingly authoritarian. However, I argue that this rollback of democracy has not been motivated by Putin's blind desire to maximize his political power, as many have assumed. Rather, his anti-democratic policies have responded to perceived specific threats to his control. In applying theories originally developed in the field of international relations to individ…
Potholes, pensions, and public opinion
What are the risks and rewards of power centralization in competitive authoritarian regimes, and who in the regime bears those risks and enjoys the rewards? The elimination of gubernatorial elections in Russia in late 2004 provides a unique opportunity to study public reaction to policies that replaced democratically elected regional leaders with Kremlin appointees, thereby further concentrating power in the hands of the central state while simul…
