ABSTRACT How do social sanctions affect individual participation in civil war violence? Which mechanisms facilitate implementation of social sanctions in times of crises? This study draws on unique in-depth interview data with former ethnic Crimean Tatar combatants in Ukraine to flesh out specific mechanisms that enable social sanctions to function as an effective instrument of violent mobilization, facilitating individual participation in high-risk collective action. Empirical findings demonstrate that in the Crimean Tatar case (non)participation in high-risk collective action had an effect on individuals’ family honor within the community, and on their access to community-distributed public goods, such as jobs and social benefits. The effect of social sanctions on violent mobilization remains particularly strong among traditionalist societies with higher levels of adherence to social norms, local customs, and traditions. The findings reveal that while social sanctions remained effective among rural community residents, their effect was limited on non-community urban settlers.
社会制裁如何影响个人参与内战暴力?哪些机制有助于在危机时期实施社会制裁?本研究利用对乌克兰前克里米亚鞑靼族战斗员的独特深度访谈数据,充实具体机制,使社会制裁成为暴力动员的有效工具,促进个人参与高风险集体行动。实证结果表明,在克里米亚鞑靼人的案例中,(不)参与高风险集体行动对个人在社区中的家庭荣誉产生了影响,并对他们获得社区分配的公共产品(如工作和社会福利)产生了影响。在恪守社会规范、地方习俗和传统的传统主义社会中,社会制裁对暴力动员的影响仍然特别强烈。研究结果表明,虽然社会制裁在农村社区居民中仍然有效,但对非社区城市定居者的影响有限。

ABSTRACT The movement that mobilized to oppose Alyaksandr Lukashenka in August 2020 was notable for its ability to bridge divisions of social class, geography, age, and identity. Almost uniquely among post-Soviet revolutionary movements, the Belarusians who rose up were not divided from those who did not along clearly discernible socio-demographic, ethnic, linguistic, or regional lines. They were, however, separated by one very stark barrier: the one separating the country’s two distinct media systems, one controlled by the state, and one independent. Drawing on an original survey conducted in September 2020, just as the protest movement was reaching its peak, this article finds that respondents’ choice of news media was the strongest and most consistent predictor of their political opinions. Media, then, appear to have served not merely as aggregators of and conduits for social processes generated elsewhere, but as the producers of social and political force in their own right.
2020年8月反对亚历山大·卢卡申科的运动以其弥合社会阶级、地理、年龄和身份分歧的能力而闻名。在苏联解体后的革命运动中,起义的白俄罗斯人几乎是独一无二的,他们没有按照明显的社会人口、种族、语言或地区界线将起义的人与没有起义的人区分开来。然而,他们被一个非常明显的障碍隔开:这个国家的两个截然不同的媒体系统,一个由国家控制,一个独立。根据2020年9月进行的一项原始调查,就在抗议运动达到顶峰时,这篇文章发现,受访者对新闻媒体的选择是他们政治观点的最强和最一致的预测因素。因此,媒体似乎不仅是别处产生的社会进程的聚合者和渠道,而且本身也是社会和政治力量的生产者。

ABSTRACT During moments of nationwide mass mobilization, what distinguishes the towns and cities that rise in the first week from those that do not see protest? Taking the case of nationwide protests in Belarus in August 2020, this study employs an original protest event catalogue to investigate what drives mobilization in early-rising localities. I test hypotheses in the protest literature relating to whether pre-existing social networks, or pre-election campaign rallies, influence subsequent protest mobilization. The innovative use of Telegram data demonstrates the platform’s value for social scientists studying protest. My results suggest that pre-existing social networks help drive mobilization in localities by facilitating communication, coordination, and engagement prior to protest onset, priming people to be ready when the moment of protest arrives. This article also highlights the impressive scale of nationwide mobilization in Belarus in 2020, and demonstrates that local networks were engaging in widespread opposition activity even before mass mobilization.
在全国大规模动员的时刻,是什么区别了在第一周崛起的城镇和那些没有看到抗议的城市?本研究以白俄罗斯2020年8月的全国性抗议活动为例,采用原始的抗议事件目录来调查是什么推动了早起地区的动员。我测试了抗议文献中的假设,这些假设与先前存在的社会网络或选举前的竞选集会是否会影响随后的抗议动员有关。Telegram数据的创新使用证明了该平台对研究抗议活动的社会科学家的价值。我的研究结果表明,预先存在的社会网络通过在抗议开始之前促进沟通、协调和参与,帮助推动地方的动员,使人们在抗议到来的时刻做好准备。这篇文章也强调了2020年白俄罗斯令人印象深刻的全国动员规模,并表明地方网络甚至在大规模动员之前就参与了广泛的反对活动。

Parade, plebiscite, pandemic: legitimation efforts in Putin’s fourth term 游行、公民投票、疫情:普京第四任期的合法化努力

ABSTRACT Putin’s fourth term as president (2018–2024) has involved new challenges for Russia’s hybrid regime. COVID-19 hit the Kremlin at a sensitive time, when the old institutional forces had been demounted and new arrangements, including extensive constitutional changes, had yet to become cemented. There is an emerging gulf between state rhetoric, PR events, and patriotic performances, on the one hand, and economic chaos, social disorder and dysfunctional state capacity, on the other, which is likely to reduce system legitimacy and cause increased reliance on repressive methods. This article examines Kremlin legitimation efforts across Beetham’s three dimensions: rules, beliefs, and actions. We argue that the regime’s legitimation efforts in 2020–21 have failed to reverse emerging cleavages in public opinion since 2018. Increased reliance on repression and manipulation in this period, combined with the contrast between regime promises and observable realities on the ground, speak not of strength, but of the Kremlin’s increased weakness and embattlement.
摘要普京的第四个总统任期(2018–2024)给俄罗斯的混合政权带来了新的挑战。新冠肺炎在一个敏感的时刻袭击了克里姆林宫,当时旧的体制力量已经被废除,包括广泛的宪法改革在内的新安排尚未巩固。一方面,国家言论、公共关系事件和爱国主义表现与另一方面的经济混乱、社会混乱和国家能力失调之间存在着新的鸿沟,这可能会降低制度的合法性,并导致对镇压方法的依赖增加。这篇文章考察了克里姆林宫在Beetham的三个维度上的合法化努力:规则、信仰和行动。我们认为,该政权在2020-2021年的合法化努力未能扭转自2018年以来出现的舆论分歧。这一时期对镇压和操纵的依赖增加,再加上政权承诺与当地可观察到的现实之间的对比,说明的不是实力,而是克里姆林宫日益软弱和陷入困境。

ABSTRACT Russian regional governments have shown remarkable variation in prohibiting immigrants from working in specific economic sectors. Why do regions enact immigration bans in some sectors but not in others? Few studies have explored the politics of immigration in authoritarian regimes, and recent sectoral bans in Russia have received scant attention. Based on an analysis of a novel data set on sectoral bans in 83 Russian regions and a case study of Novosibirsk Oblast, this article shows that regional governments tend to enact immigration bans in sectors that do not rely on a foreign workforce. I argue that autocrats impose immigration restrictions as mere grandstanding to appeal to public anti-immigrant sentiment. My findings challenge the existing literature’s emphasis on the roles of economic factors, such as economic growth and natural resources, in immigration restrictions, as well as the argument that Russia imposes excessive immigration restrictions.
俄罗斯地方政府在禁止移民在特定经济部门工作方面表现出显著的差异。为什么各地区在某些领域颁布了移民禁令,而在其他领域却没有?很少有研究探讨专制政权中的移民政治,俄罗斯最近的部门禁令也很少受到关注。基于对俄罗斯83个地区部门禁令的新数据集的分析和对新西伯利亚州的案例研究,本文表明,地方政府倾向于在不依赖外国劳动力的部门颁布移民禁令。我认为,独裁者施加移民限制仅仅是哗众哗众,以吸引公众的反移民情绪。我的研究结果挑战了现有文献对经济因素(如经济增长和自然资源)在移民限制中的作用的强调,以及俄罗斯施加过度移民限制的论点。

ABSTRACT How did the Russian government deal with popular dissatisfaction from the effects of COVID-19 and the policies it adopted in its wake? And how successful was President Vladimir Putin in evading blame given that Russia is de facto highly politically centralized under the president? We analyze data from a national probability sample of Russians conducted following the first wave of the pandemic in July/August 2020. Our results indicate that Putin’s blame-deflecting strategy appears to have been broadly but not entirely successful.

Activism in exile: how Russian environmentalists maintain voice after exit 流亡中的激进主义:俄罗斯环保主义者如何在退出后保持声音

ABSTRACT After the 2011–2012 protests, Russian activists faced increased pressure that pushed many to flee Russia to secure the safety of themselves or their families. But emigrating from Russia does not mean that activists must give up their role as advocates for causes back home. These new “activists-in-exile” can use their positions abroad to mobilize international pressure and support outside of Russia. Drawing on Albert Hirschman’s ideas of exit, voice, and loyalty, we argue that “exit” in the form of emigration from a politically hostile environment can in fact enable “voice.” However, through case studies of Russian environmental activists, we map the tradeoffs of emigration along two different dimensions of voice: vertical and horizontal. While activists-in-exile lose horizontal voice through remote engagement, they gain vertical connections through empowered exile. Conversely, activists who stay in Russia maintain horizontal ties through constrained legitimacy, but have limited vertical power as targets of repression.
摘要2011-2012年抗议活动后,俄罗斯活动人士面临越来越大的压力,迫使许多人逃离俄罗斯,以确保自己或家人的安全。但从俄罗斯移民并不意味着活动人士必须放弃他们作为国内事业倡导者的角色。这些新的“流亡活动家”可以利用他们在国外的地位,在俄罗斯境外动员国际压力和支持。根据阿尔伯特·赫希曼关于退出、发言权和忠诚的观点,我们认为,从政治敌对环境中移民的“退出”实际上可以实现“发言权”。然而,通过对俄罗斯环境活动家的案例研究,我们将移民的权衡分为两个不同的声音维度:垂直和水平。流亡活动人士通过远程参与失去了横向发言权,但他们通过授权流亡获得了纵向联系。相反,留在俄罗斯的活动人士通过受限的合法性保持着横向联系,但作为镇压目标的纵向权力有限。

The legislative role of the Russian Duma and the Kazakh Mazhilis: authoritarianism and power sharing in post-Soviet Eurasia 俄罗斯杜马和哈萨克斯坦马日利斯的立法角色:后苏联欧亚大陆的威权主义和权力分享

ABSTRACT The Russian Duma and the Kazakh Mazhilis are typical examples of formally democratic legislatures in authoritarian regimes. This article investigates their role and asks why different authoritarian legislatures have different levels of law-making activity. Neo-institutionalist scholarship argues that legislatures stabilize authoritarian regimes by institutionalizing access to decision-making, but this literature requires further evidence showing which factors stimulate a parliament’s law-making function. The analysis uses an original dataset on 7,564 bills in Russia and Kazakhstan between 2000 and 2016 to explore how different power-sharing arrangements affect the legislative output of both parliaments. The results show that the Duma is much more active in terms of initiating laws and amending executive bills because of its highly differentiated committee system. Nevertheless, both legislatures have become more active after electoral contestedness decreased when United Russia and Nur Otan emerged. This suggests that internal parliamentary organization stimulates law-making activity, whereas electoral contestedness obstructs collective decision-making.
俄罗斯杜马和哈萨克斯坦马日利斯是专制政权中形式上民主立法机构的典型代表。本文考察了它们的作用,并探讨了为什么不同的权威立法机构具有不同的立法活动水平。新制度主义学者认为,立法机构通过使决策机会制度化来稳定专制政权,但这一文献需要进一步的证据来证明哪些因素刺激了议会的立法功能。该分析使用了2000年至2016年期间俄罗斯和哈萨克斯坦的7564项法案的原始数据集,以探索不同的权力分享安排如何影响两国议会的立法产出。结果表明,由于高度分化的委员会制度,杜马在发起法律和修改行政法案方面更加活跃。然而,在统一俄罗斯党和光明党出现后,选举竞争减少后,这两个立法机构变得更加活跃。这表明议会内部组织促进了立法活动,而选举竞争阻碍了集体决策。

This suggests that internal parliamentary organization stimulates law-making activity, whereas electoral contestedness obstructs collective decision-making.","PeriodicalId":46960,"journal":{"name":"Post-Soviet Affairs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45714225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT We argue that limited authoritarian regimes like Putin’s Russia have to work out a delicate balance between suppressing civil society and buying its loyalty by allocating funds to the organizations willing to cooperate with the regime. Using the data on the distribution of presidential grants among civil society organizations working on human rights projects in 2017–2018, we show that organizations whose leaders take part in consultative bodies and pro-governmental organizations such as the All-Russian People’s Front receive larger amounts of money on average. Organizations with links to the parliamentary parties also have some premium in grant disbursement, while affiliation with the ruling party does not increase the amount of funding. These findings imply some degree of political bias in state funding for the third sector in Russia. We also found that professionalism matters, and seasoned civil society organizations have considerably more funding than less experienced organizations in the field.
我们认为,像普京的俄罗斯这样的有限专制政权必须在压制公民社会和通过向愿意与政权合作的组织分配资金来购买其忠诚之间取得微妙的平衡。利用2017-2018年从事人权项目的民间社会组织的总统拨款分配数据,我们发现,领导人参加协商机构和亲政府组织(如全俄人民阵线)的组织平均获得的资金更多。与议会政党有联系的组织在拨款方面也有一定的溢价,而与执政党有联系的组织并没有增加资金数额。这些发现表明,俄罗斯在为第三部门提供国家资金方面存在一定程度的政治偏见。我们还发现,专业精神很重要,经验丰富的民间社会组织比经验不足的组织获得的资金要多得多。
