A Neoconservative Consensus in Russia? Main Components, Factors of Stability, Potential of Erosion
Russian Social Science Review. 2020. Vol. 61. No. 3-4. P. 220–235.
Translator: S. Patterson
This article analyzes the ideational consensus that has taken shape in contemporary Russian politics, including its key components, and factors both of stability and of potential erosion. Noting the extraordinary durability of this consensus, which is supported by factors including the duration of the regime itself, its support among elites and the bureaucracy, effective mobilizational propaganda and conservative orientations among the middle classes and dominant public opinion, the author draws attention to several factors – as yet less evident – that may in the future change the situation. Among these are the volatility of public opinion, potential intra-elite dynamics, and the internal contradictions of the neo-conservative idea itself.

Contemporary IR theory lacks a unified and complete taxonomy of interstate military-political relationships. The conceptual diversity of overlapping, often interchangeable terms (alliance, alignment, coalition, entente, strategic partnership) generates false dichotomies and a gap between fundamental alliance theories and applied studies of defense cooperation practices. This article proposes a three-dimensional classification of military alignments. Each state ...
