State populism in Russia in a time of war
This article examines state populism as a key mechanism enabling the survival of authoritarian regimes. In contrast to anti-establishment populism, which portrays the ruling elites as the main enemy of the people and sets the people against the elites, state populism sees the state, created and run by the incumbent elites, as the protector of the interests of the people. Drawing on our research on contemporary Russia, we show how the workings of …

Authoritarian Modernisation and Academic Freedom
The text relies on the concept of authoritarian modernisation to explore the challenges to the higher education (HE) sector and academic freedom in Russia. We show that elements of modernisation, coupled with Russia’s participation in the global process of HE internationalisation, have created pockets of effectiveness. However, these have not solved the many problems pervading Russian HE. We argue that modernisation, in the form in which it has b…

Reification in IR
This article studies the contentious problem of reification in international relations (IR) on the example of the idea of international society. It shows how the idea became reified, that is, how the move was made from approaching international society as one of several competing frameworks for the study of international politics to considering it an objective fact, a self-evident reality of international politics, and an entity in the possession…
Academic Community and Policymaking in Russia
This paper is concerned with the role of International Relations (IR) expertise and the academia–policy nexus in contemporary Russia. Drawing on interviews with Russia-based scholars, it posits that while there exist formal channels of knowledge diffusion between academia and the state, there is no clear-cut relationship between knowledge produced in academia and the uses of this knowledge by the state. Scholars’ attitudes towards policy impact, …
EU–Russia Relations in Crisis. Understanding Diverging Perceptions
The crisis in EU–Russian relations reached its peak in the aftermath of Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the intervention in Eastern Ukraine. Its roots, however, can be traced back to the mid-2000

Russia’s Foreign Policy. Ideas, Domestic Politics and External Relations
It has become a trend to discuss the foreign policy of the post-Soviet states, and particularly that of Russia, without taking into consideration its ideational sources and inspirations. For some t
But in Asia we too are Europeans
The standard of civilisation served Western states to hierarchically organise international politics and reproduce Western pre-eminence. Russia, depending on the historical period, has been interpreted as either an ardent follower or a major challenger to Western projects, but it has been markedly absent from debates regarding the standard. This article proposes to engage Russia in the standard of civilisation discussion with reference to the sta…
Russia's droit de regard
Following the end of the cold war and throughout the 1990s, Russia was described as the readily ‘joining’ international society. According to the English school perspective on IR, this meant that Russia was expected to adjust and accept the norms and rules established and propagated by mostly Western liberal states but hailed as common for the family of states. With Vladimir Putin's ascendance to power and Russia's economic recovery followed by M…
Institutional reform in Central Asia
Whether the states of Central Asia can still be accurately depicted as in transition towards a liberal market economy after 20 years of independence, or whether they have reached an imperfect equil
