Security issues were a central part of Soviet studies. This article considers how the study of security issues has changed with respect to Russia and Eurasia since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. It highlights a series of positive changes: a broadening of vision beyond Moscow, more engagement with mainstream social science, greater attention to security issues internal to post-Soviet states, and the creation of an expert community that spans North America, Europe, and Eurasia. At the same time, I argue that scholarship on Russian and Eurasian security issues has become less strategic, in the sense this word is used by Richard Betts – about the interaction of political ends and military means, rooted in an appreciation of military science. The academy, especially in North America, has become a less welcoming place for scholars working on Russia and Eurasia who care about previously central issues in the field such as nuclear strategy, weapons procurement, military doctrine, and defense planning.
安全问题是苏联研究的核心部分。本文考虑了自冷战结束和苏联解体以来,俄罗斯和欧亚大陆对安全问题的研究发生了怎样的变化。它强调了一系列积极的变化:将视野扩大到莫斯科以外,更多地参与主流社会科学,更多地关注后苏联国家内部的安全问题,以及建立了一个横跨北美、欧洲和欧亚大陆的专家群体。与此同时,我认为,关于俄罗斯和欧亚安全问题的学术已经变得不那么具有战略意义,正如理查德·贝茨使用的这个词一样——关于政治目的和军事手段的互动,植根于对军事科学的欣赏。该学院,尤其是在北美,已经成为研究俄罗斯和欧亚大陆的学者们不太欢迎的地方,他们关心核战略、武器采购、军事学说和国防规划等领域以前的核心问题。

Russian Discourse on Borders and Territorial Questions – Crimea as a Watershed? 俄罗斯关于边界和领土问题的讨论——克里米亚是一个分水岭?

This article addresses the question of how the Crimean case relates to Russia’s general understanding of territorial questions and border regimes. We examine the historical evolution of Russian discourse on borders and territorial questions and investigate to what extent they can explain Russia’s decision to annex Crimea. We will look into the principles of inviolability of borders and territorial integrity that sustain the status quo, and how this has been challenged by three partly interlinked doctrines: national self-determination, geopolitics, and historical rights. We argue that the discourse on territorial integrity and the status quo has predominated in Russia since the Cold War, and that this has not changed fundamentally, either before or after the annexation of Crimea. Russia does not seem to want to abolish the existing norms altogether or to advocate any clearly articulated reformist agenda. Rather, it picks and chooses arguments on an ad hoc basis, imitating Western positions in some other cases when departing from the basic norm of the status quo. Hence, we claim that Russia’s territorial revisionism is reactive, self-serving, and constrained by the desire to avoid changing the status quo doctrine to any great extent.
本文探讨了克里米亚案件与俄罗斯对领土问题和边境制度的总体理解之间的关系。我们研究了俄罗斯关于边界和领土问题的话语的历史演变,并调查了它们在多大程度上可以解释俄罗斯吞并克里米亚的决定。我们将研究维持现状的边界不可侵犯和领土完整原则,以及这一原则如何受到三种部分相互关联的学说的挑战:民族自决、地缘政治和历史权利。我们认为,自冷战以来,关于领土完整和现状的讨论在俄罗斯占主导地位,无论是在吞并克里米亚之前还是之后,这种情况都没有根本改变。俄罗斯似乎不想完全废除现有规范,也不想提倡任何明确的改革议程。相反,它在特定的基础上挑选论点,在其他一些情况下,当偏离现状的基本准则时,模仿西方的立场。因此,我们声称,俄罗斯的领土修正主义是被动的、自私的,并受到在很大程度上避免改变现状学说的愿望的约束。

On the Issue of Regional Political Parties in Russia 论俄罗斯地区政党问题

The article deals with issues relating to the establishment of regional political parties in Russia. We assess the requirements imposed by the Political Parties Act (Federal Law 95-FZ of 11 July 2001) on the number of regional branches of a political party and analyze whether those requirements, which set an indirect ban on the creation and the activities of regional political parties, comply with the right of individuals to freedom of association. One of the conclusions made in the article is that the legislative restriction on the right to freedom of association introduced by the Political Parties Act as an indirect ban on the creation and the activities of regional political parties in Russia is excessive, it is disproportionate to the objective sought to be achieved by the measure in question and hinders the exercise of the right to freedom of association at the regional territorial level.
本文论述了俄罗斯建立地区政党的有关问题。我们评估了《政党法》(2001年7月11日第95-FZ号联邦法律)对政党地区分支机构数量的要求,并分析了这些要求是否符合个人结社自由的权利,这些要求间接禁止地区政党的创建和活动。文章得出的结论之一是,《政党法》对结社自由权的立法限制是对俄罗斯地区政党的创建和活动的间接禁令,这是过度的,这与有关措施寻求实现的目标不相称,阻碍了在区域领土一级行使结社自由权。

What Russia Can Teach Us about Power and Influence in World Politics 关于世界政治中的权力和影响力,俄罗斯能教给我们什么
IF 0.8 Q3 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2019-06-14 DOI: 10.1163/2451-8921-00402001

There is a striking opposition within the current discourse on Russia’s position in the world. On the one hand, there are well-known arguments about Russia’s “weak hand” (relatively small and stagnating economy, vulnerability to sanctions, technological backwardness, deteriorating demography, corruption, bad institutions, etc.). On the other hand, Russia is accused of “global revisionism”, attempts to reshape and undermine the liberal world order, and Western democracy itself. There seems to be a paradox: Russia with a perceived decline of major resources of national power, exercises dramatically increased international influence. This paradox of power and/or influence is further explored. This paper introduces a new complex Index of national power. On the basis of ratings of countries authors compare the dynamics of distribution of power in the world with a focus on Russia’s national power in world politics since 1995. The analysis brings evidence that the cumulative resources of Russia’s power in international affairs did not increase during the last two decades. However, Russia’s influence in world politics has significantly increased as demonstrated by assertive foreign policy in different parts of the world and its perception by the international political community and the public. Russia remains a major power in today’s world, although some of its power resources are stagnating or decreasing in comparison to the US and rising China. To compensate for weaknesses Russia is using both traditional and nontraditional capabilities of international influence.
在当前关于俄罗斯在世界上的地位的讨论中,存在着明显的反对意见。一方面,关于俄罗斯的“弱手”(经济规模相对较小且停滞不前,容易受到制裁,技术落后,人口结构恶化,腐败,糟糕的制度等)的争论众所周知。另一方面,俄罗斯被指责为“全球修正主义”,试图重塑和破坏自由世界秩序和西方民主本身。这似乎是一个悖论:俄罗斯的主要国力资源明显下降,但其国际影响力却急剧上升。这种权力和/或影响力的悖论被进一步探讨。本文介绍了一种新的综合国力指数。在国家评级的基础上,作者将世界权力分配的动态与1995年以来俄罗斯在世界政治中的国家力量进行了比较。分析表明,在过去20年里,俄罗斯在国际事务中积累的权力资源并没有增加。然而,俄罗斯在世界政治中的影响力显著增强,这体现在其在世界不同地区奉行的强硬外交政策以及国际政治团体和公众对其的看法上。俄罗斯仍然是当今世界的一个大国,尽管与美国和崛起的中国相比,它的一些权力资源正在停滞或减少。为了弥补这些弱点,俄罗斯正在利用传统和非传统的国际影响力。

Russian Neo-Revisionism 俄罗斯新修正主义
IF 0.8 Q3 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2019-02-27 DOI: 10.1163/2451-8921-00401001

A revisionist state would seek to challenge the existing balance of power in the system and threaten the foundations of the system itself. This does not apply to contemporary Russia. It seeks to enhance its status within the existing framework of international society. Russian neo-revisionism does not attempt to create new rules or to advance an alternative model of the international system but to ensure the universal and consistent application of existing norms. Russia’s neo-revisionism represents a critique of western practices in defense of the universal proclaimed principles. It is not the principles of international law and governance that Russia condemns but the practices that accompany their implementation. This reflected Russia’s broader perception in the post-Cold War era that it was locked into a strategic stalemate, and that the country was forced into a politics of resistance. This has taken many forms, including the creation of an anti-hegemonic alignment with China and others. For Moscow, it was the West that had become revisionist, not Russia. Although the implementation of applicable norms was patchy, Russia did not repudiate them. In its relations with the European Union, Russia’s neo-revisionist stance means that it was unable to become simply the passive recipient of eu norms, and instead tried to become a co-creator of Europe’s destiny. The struggle is not only over contested norms, but also over who has the prerogative to claim their norms as universal. However, it was precisely at the level of practices that there was least room for compromise, and thus Russian neo-revisionism became another form of the impasse, and only intensified tensions between Russia and the Atlantic system.
修正主义国家将试图挑战体制中现有的权力平衡,并威胁体制本身的基础。这不适用于当代俄罗斯。它寻求在现有的国际社会框架内提高其地位。俄罗斯的新修正主义并不试图创造新规则或推进国际体系的替代模式,而是确保普遍和一致地适用现有规范。俄罗斯的新修正主义代表了对西方捍卫普遍原则的做法的批判。俄罗斯谴责的不是国际法和治理原则,而是伴随这些原则实施的做法。这反映了俄罗斯在后冷战时代的更广泛看法,即它陷入了战略僵局,该国被迫陷入抵抗政治。这采取了多种形式,包括与中国和其他国家建立反霸权主义联盟。对莫斯科来说,是西方变成了修正主义者,而不是俄罗斯。尽管适用规范的执行情况参差不齐,但俄罗斯并没有否定这些规范。在与欧盟的关系中,俄罗斯的新修正主义立场意味着它不能简单地成为欧盟规范的被动接受者,而是试图成为欧洲命运的共同创造者。这场斗争不仅涉及有争议的规范,还涉及谁有权宣称其规范具有普遍性。然而,正是在实践层面上,妥协的余地最小,因此俄罗斯的新修正主义成为了另一种形式的僵局,只会加剧俄罗斯与大西洋体系之间的紧张关系。

Role Conceptions and Belligerent Foreign Policy: Why Russia is Remaking the International Order 角色观念与好战外交政策:为什么俄罗斯正在重塑国际秩序

An ever-growing body of scholarship on Russian foreign policy focuses attention to redefining concepts such as sovereignty and power. Aggressive and successful Russian foreign policy initiatives in the last decade give urgency and relevancy to such initiatives, from invading Georgia to deploying an aircraft carrier to support ground operations in Syria. While these proactive Russian foreign policies may characterize a reclamation of Russia’s great power status in the international community, I argue that the goal of Russia’s foreign policy is to create a new system, not beholden to the u.s.-led Western world. By undermining the legitimacy of Western style democracy and pushing the boundaries of existing norms in the international community, Russian President Vladimir Putin offers a new construct for international relations: the polycentric world order. Using Role Theory, I discuss the domestic and international pressures on the Russian state to create its identity and the evolution of Russian roles in previous international systems. Formal leader statements and official policy documents provide evidence of the changing roles Russia plays in the international arena, while role theory provides an explanatory context for the purpose of new Russian foreign policy.
越来越多的关于俄罗斯外交政策的学术机构将注意力集中在重新定义主权和权力等概念上。俄罗斯在过去十年中积极而成功的外交政策举措使这些举措具有紧迫性和相关性,从入侵格鲁吉亚到部署航空母舰支持在叙利亚的地面行动。虽然这些积极主动的俄罗斯外交政策可能是俄罗斯在国际社会大国地位的恢复,但我认为,俄罗斯外交政策的目标是建立一个新的体系,而不是受制于美国领导的西方世界。俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京破坏了西方民主的合法性,突破了国际社会现有规范的界限,为国际关系提供了一个新的结构:多中心世界秩序。运用角色理论,我讨论了俄罗斯国家为创造其身份而面临的国内外压力,以及俄罗斯在以往国际体系中角色的演变。正式的领导人声明和官方政策文件为俄罗斯在国际舞台上扮演的角色的变化提供了证据,而角色理论为俄罗斯新外交政策的目的提供了解释性的背景。

An Indispensable Party of Power? United Russia and Putin’s Return to the Presidency, 2011–14 不可或缺的执政党?统一俄罗斯党与普京重返总统宝座,2011 - 2014

United Russia (ur), which has served as one of the pillars of Russian authoritarianism, experienced a radical decline in its support around the time of Putin’s return to Presidency. In this study, I examine the regime’s responses to the declining support for ur by focusing on the nuanced relationship between the regime and ur. Especially important in this context is that ur can be characterized as a “party of power” that is embedded in the political system; this allows the regime to be opportunistic toward the party, but there is also a limitation in the extent that the regime can distance itself from the party. I demonstrate that the regime took various measures, including the creation of the All-Russia People’s Front (onf) to escape the ire of voters; however, the range of responses adopted did not lead to the replacement of ur.
一直是俄罗斯威权主义支柱之一的统一俄罗斯党在普京重返总统宝座前后,其支持率急剧下降。在这项研究中,我通过关注政权和ur之间微妙的关系,来研究政权对ur支持率下降的反应。在这种背景下,特别重要的是,我们可以被描述为嵌入政治体系的“权力政党”;这使得该政权可以对该党投机取巧,但该政权与该党保持距离的程度也有限制。我证明,该政权采取了各种措施,包括成立全俄罗斯人民阵线以躲避选民的愤怒;然而,所采取的回应范围并没有导致ur的替代。

Public Attitudes to Politics in Russia 俄罗斯公众对政治的态度

The 2018 Russian presidential election was effectively a contest not between Vladimir Putin and the other seven candidates on the ballot paper, but between Putin and the level of election turnout. Anything less than a large majority based on a respectable level of turnout would have undermined Putin’s legitimacy to serve for a further six-year term. In the event, Putin achieved his goal. Through the analysis of public opinion polls conducted by the Levada Center, we examine the background to the election. Putin’s success can be traced, first to long-standing patterns of differential turnout across the regions and, second, administrative initiatives by the election authorities which created a renewed confidence in the integrity of the election process.
2018年俄罗斯总统选举实际上不是弗拉基米尔·普京和选票上的其他七位候选人之间的竞争,而是普京和选举投票率之间的竞争。基于可观的投票率,任何低于多数票的情况都会破坏普京连任六年的合法性。在这次活动中,普京实现了他的目标。通过对莱瓦达中心进行的民意调查的分析,我们考察了此次选举的背景。普京的成功首先可以追溯到各地区长期存在的投票率差异模式,其次是选举当局的行政举措,这些举措重新树立了人们对选举过程完整性的信心。

Through the analysis of public opinion polls conducted by the Levada Center, we examine the background to the election. Putin’s success can be traced, first to long-standing patterns of differential turnout across the regions and, second, administrative initiatives by the election authorities which created a renewed confidence in the integrity of the election process.","PeriodicalId":37176,"journal":{"name":"Russian Politics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1163/2451-8921-00401003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46217166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The regional machines created by the Russian governors in the mid-1990s turned out to be most effective in the ethnic republics. This phenomenon is supported by several facts, with the primary as follows: the density of the patronage networks among the rural ethnic minorities, and the economic heritage of the Soviet period and ethnical institutionalization. These factors allowed regional elites to integrate ethnic minorities into the clientelism structure to distribute symbolic and material benefits in exchange for their electoral support. However, at present, the federal authorities have considerably reduced the autonomy of the ethnic republics and deprived them of many ethnic preferences. Basing on the analysis of the electoral statistics from the Russian Presidential Election of 2018, this article researches the political consequences caused by the changed relationship between the center and the regions, as well as the changes in functioning of regional political machines in the circumstances where the governors’ institutional and resource autonomy has been reduced. The data analysis allowed for the discovery of the diversified electoral behavior of ethnic minorities in different republics. The reasons for the above diversification have been explained based on a comparative analysis of five case studies (the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Republic of Tatarstan, the Komi Republic, the Chuvash Republic, and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)).
事实证明,上世纪90年代中期由俄罗斯州长创建的地区性机构在各少数民族共和国最为有效。这一现象得到了几个事实的支持,其中最主要的是:农村少数民族庇护网络的密度,以及苏联时期的经济遗产和种族制度化。这些因素使得地区精英能够将少数民族纳入庇护主义结构,以分配象征和物质利益来换取他们的选举支持。但是,目前联邦当局大大减少了各族裔共和国的自治权,剥夺了它们的许多族裔优先权。本文通过对2018年俄罗斯总统选举统计数据的分析,研究了中央与地方关系变化所带来的政治后果,以及在州长制度和资源自治权被削弱的情况下,区域政治机器的运行变化。通过数据分析,可以发现不同共和国少数民族的选举行为存在差异。根据对五个案例研究(巴什科尔托斯坦共和国、鞑靼斯坦共和国、科米共和国、楚瓦什共和国和萨哈共和国(雅库特))的比较分析,解释了上述多样化的原因。
