Russians as a “Warrior Nation”: The Formation of a Stereotype in China
Telos. 2025. Vol. 2025. No. 211. P. 33–53.
Ethnic and national stereotypes are likely the most prevalent and widely debated type of stereotype. Even classical authors such as Hippocrates and Aristotle wrote of how differing climates generated differences between the peoples inhabiting them, rendering Europeans braver but less amenable to organization, and making Asians softer but more accepting of despotic rule. Such stereotypes have long histories, and many persist to the present. However, only recently did theory regarding national/ethnic stereotypes begin to be developed. It started within studies of international relations, which considered how one society’s perception of another influenced propaganda and foreign policy. It also has its roots in imagology, which employs literature and historical sources to study the formation and evolution of national images/stereotypes.

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...
