Description

Russia's New Authoritarianism: Understanding Putin's Politics of Order David G. Lewis examines the ideological foundations of Russia's political system under Vladimir Putin. He explores the Russian understanding of key concepts such as sovereignty, democracy, and political community, and how these ideas shape domestic and foreign policy. Through a series of case studies, including Russia's legal system, the annexation of Crimea, and Russian policy in Syria, Lewis sheds light on the significance of these concepts in Russian politics. By unpacking the underlying paradigm, Lewis provides insight into the workings of Putin's regime and its implications for Russia's place in the world. This book offers a nuanced analysis of Russia's political landscape, making it a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the country's complex politics and its impact on international relations.
