How Monotony Transforms into Dichotomy
A nuanced reading of the current situation in the North Caucasus reveals two main trends that articulate in confrontation with Russian nationalism. First, in the eastern part of the region, particularly in Dagestan, Chechnya, and Ingushetia, a shift from nationalism to Islam has taken place, and the ties between religion and political machine are strong and visible. Second, and by contrast, in the western part of the region, including Adygea, Kab…
Mass Religious Ritual and Intergroup Tolerance
Under what conditions does in-group pride facilitate out-group tolerance? What are the causal linkages between intergroup tolerance and socialization in religious rituals? This book examines how Muslims from Russia's North Caucuses returned from the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca both more devout as Muslims and more tolerant of out-groups. Drawing on prominent theories of identity and social capital, the authors resolve seeming contradictions between t…

Ethnic and state sports in the context of the 2014 Sochi Olympics

To address military and terrorist threats surrounding the Sochi Olympics, the Kremlin has revised its security plan twice, raising questions about state agencies' ability to coordinate their actions and about the impact on civil society
The 2014 Sochi Olympic mega-project and Russia's political economy
This article examines Russia's political economy through the prism of mega-projects, using the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics as a case study. Such projects help Russia's leaders promote the country's image abroad, define development priorities for Russia's urban landscape, and gain support for the incumbent regime. Events like the Olympics help to justify Russia's overall political and economic systems and to funnel state resources to specific regio…
Dancing the Nation in the North Caucasus
In the north Caucasus, collective dance has long been an expression of communal identity and a forum for political dissent. In this article Sufian Zhemukhov and Charles King examine the emergence and transformation of a communal dance form known asadyge jegu(roughly, "Circassian festival") in the Russian republics of Adygeia, Karachaevo-Cherkesia, and Kabardino-Balkaria. They chart the history of the adyge jegu after 2005, elucidate debates over …
The birth of modern Circassian nationalism
This article focuses on problems of the national movement of the Circassians – a small nation in the Caucasus, most of whose population is dispersed all over the world. The paper researches the development of the Circassian movement from 1989–2000 and its contemporary structure since 2005. The modern Circassian movement as a whole has never been approached from a political science viewpoint. This research aims to answer several core questions: Wh…
