After a period of relative weakness and isolation during most of the 1990s, Russia is again appearing as a major security player in world politics.

Julie Hemment provides a fresh perspective on the controversial nationalist youth projects that have proliferated in Russia in the Putin era, examining them from the point of view of their participants and offering provocative insights into their origins and significance. The pro-Kremlin organization Nashi (""Ours"") and other state-run initiatives to mobilize Russian youth have been widely reviled in the West, seen as Soviet throwbacks and evidence of Russia's authoritarian turn. By contrast, Hemment's detailed ethnographic analysis finds an astute global awareness and a paradoxical kinship w

In his 2016 book coauthored with Evan Roth Smith, Putin's Master Plan, Doug Schoen warned of the Russian president's grand vision to expand his country's influence around the world, especially in Eastern Europe, while destabilizing the Western alliance and delegitimizing the very principles of free societiesand especially the political model of democracy's exemplar, the United States. Now, in Putin on the March, Schoen brings the story up to date, warning that Putin's mission is no abstraction but rather an active, ongoing campaign, and one that the Russian president has pursued with far more successes than setbacks. And Schoen warns again that the United States continues to lack a coherent plan for combating Russian aggression, political intrigueincluding the cyberwarfare that has upended American politicsand the communications and propaganda offensive that seems continually to keep the Western democracies off balance. In Putin on the March, Schoen examines Russian moves across a range of geopolitical areas, including Moscow's sustained menacing of its Eastern European neighbors, especially Ukraine, and analyzes Russia's current posture regarding energy markets, the diplomatic situation, espionage and cyberwarfare, and Moscow-Washington relations. This follow-up reveals that Schoen's previous warnings have been borne out. Under Putin's leadership, Russia is achieving success in the three key areas in which it needs to prevail: foreign policy; control of Russian internal politics; and keeping the United States confused, demoralized, and even destabilized. Those who dismiss Putin's behavior as unsustainable or reckless overlook the fundamental truth: he is getting away with it, and the more he gets away with, and the longer he does, the stronger he becomesespecially as the Western democracies grow more fractured both from their own internal problems and from lack of consensus on how to respond.

Die kontroversen Diskussionen um die politische Entwicklung in Russland seit der Machtübernahme durch Wladimir Putin im Jahr 2000 reißen nicht ab. Der Abbau demokratischer Rechte, wirtschaftliches Wachstum und Stabilität werden als Kennzeichen der Putin'schen Herrschaft hervorgehoben. Philipp Casula fokussiert in seiner Analyse hingegen auf die Genese des politischen Diskurses im Zeitraum 2000-2008 und erarbeitet dessen hegemoniale und populistische Tendenzen mithilfe der Ansätze von Ernesto Laclau. Die Studie wirft ein neues Licht auf die russische politische Entwicklung und produziert Erklärungen für die Regime-Stabilität Russlands unter Putin jenseits üblicher transformationstheoretischer Modelle. »Casula's analysis is strong in the careful reconstruction of the central ideas that have charactarized the Russian political field under Putin in the 2000s, with a rich repertoire of empirical material.« Martin Müller, The Russian Review, 72/3 (2013) »Casulas hegemonietheoretisch informierter Post-Transition-Ansatz entgeht dem impliziten Normativismus der traditionellen Transitionsforschung und trägt der Ergebnisoffenheit, der Prekarität und der Komplexität politischer Wandlungsprozesse Rechnung.« Marius Hildebrand, Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 24.07.2014 »Philipp Casula [ist] eine lesenswerte, sprachlich sehr ansprechende Arbeit gelungen, deren diskurstheoretischer Rahmen und empirische Ergebnisse ein vielschichtiges und differenziertes Bild von Russland im 21. Jahrhundert zeichnen, das gerade in puncto Demokratie und Russland überzeugende Argumente für diese notwendige, alternative Perspektive zu bisheriger Forschung liefert.« Eva Herschinger, Politische Vierteljahresschrift, 3 (2013) Besprochen in: Osteuropa, 63/7 (2013), Félix Krawatzek Sociologiceskie issledovanija, 8 (2013), Vladimir S.
