“…The second window of opportunity opened upon the election of Vladimir Putin as president in 2000, when interest in labour migration, especially undocumented migration, increased, and migration began to be seen in terms of national security and especially in terms of the fight against terrorism . During this period, Russia became increasingly concerned with maintaining its role as the political and economic centre of the Eurasian region, partly in response to increased US involvement in Central Asia and the Caucasus after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (Spechler, ). As interest in regulating migration increased, so did the capacity of the central government to institute regulations, thanks to continued economic growth and Putin's policies of centralization.…”

This article uses Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework to explain forms of national-and region-level governance used in the Russian Federation to manage unprecedented levels of international immigration. First, we identify the ways that the Russian federal government has legislated and governed international migration from 1991 through 2010. We then compare the federal level to the case of the Krasnodar region, an ethnically diverse region in the North Caucasus. We find that that migration policy adoption in Russia at the federal level is relatively immune to economic trends or labour needs but more sensitive to foreign and domestic political objectives. At the regional level, local socio-political and economic concerns predominate and political objectives are secondary. Finally, we argue that migration policy changes or adopted policy at the regional level may be explained by an interaction effect between changes in political leadership, federal level policy adoption, and regional level context.

“…Part of the explanations surrounding Russia's greater assertiveness is strongly linked to factors at the individual level, focusing on personalities such as Yevgeny Primakov (Delong 2020;Katz 2006;Rumer 2019), Vladimir Putin (Póti 2008;Spechler 2010;Van Herpen 2019), and Valery Gerasimov (Bartles 2016;Fridman 2019;Galeotti 2018). For example, it is common to notice the vast controversies surrounding Putin's personality and political aspirations-especially after the approval of the 2020 Russian constitutional referendum that allows him to remain in office until 2036 (Nuland 2020;Spiegelberger 2020).…”

From Offsetting to Emulation: A Neoclassical Realist Analysis of Russia’s Internal Balancing Strategies

In 2008, Russia began to implement its largest military reform since the creation of the Red Army in 1918. Previous attempts at reforms in 1992, 1997, and 2003 did not result in fundamental transformations to the country’s military. Why was the 2008 military reform successful while others were not? This article uses the comparative-historical method to identify the causal mechanisms between Russia’s level of external threat, state capacity, and internal balancing strategies adopted since 1991. It advances Neoclassical Realism’s systemic and unit-level variables by building on the long-established contributions from Strategic Studies and Historical Sociology instead of relying on other International Relations theories. It concludes that the success of Russia’s military reforms in the post-Cold War period depended on the simultaneous existence of three conditions: the possibility of disrupting strategic stability, its ability to extract and mobilize societal resources, and the presence of some event of proven ineffectiveness. Under scenarios in which only one or two of these conditions were present, Russia carried out only partial military reforms. The article sheds light on three often-neglected drivers of Russia’s military reform by Western analysts: its enduring emphasis on interstate competition, strategic stability, and mid-to-high intensity conventional warfare.

“…Durante los meses siguientes a los atentados del 11 de septiembre, la política exterior rusa hacía occidente, y principalmente hacia los Estados Unidos estuvo caracterizada por un nuevo panorama de cooperación, o de asociación estratégica (strategic partnership) (Mankoff, 2013;Spechler, 2010). El simple hecho de no oponerse al uso de antiguas bases soviéticas en Asia Central (Uzbekistán y Kirguistán) por parte de las fuerzas militares de Estados Unidos es lo suficientemente diciente del nuevo escenario en el contexto mundial que siguió a la caída de las Torres Gemelas.…”

El trabajo examina las características principales presentes en la formación de la política exterior de Rusia a partir del colapso de la Unión Soviética y el fin de la Guerra Fría hasta el presente. Se propone un análisis de los cambios que se han presentado en la construcción de su política exterior desde un primer momento con Boris Yeltsin, hasta el escenario actual con Vladimir Putin. La investigación propone la utilización de elementos del constructivismo como elemento teórico adicional al enfoque realista que ha prevalecido en los análisis de la política exterior rusa en el periodo mencionado.
