Subject: Call for Papers: Continuity and Change in Russian Politics
Palgrave Communications (https://www.nature.com/palcomms/) the open access

article proposals and full papers for a research article collection
('special issue') on Continuity and change in Russian politics
(https://www.nature.com/palcomms/for-authors/call-for-papers#Russia).
This collection is being edited by Professor Neil Robinson (Department of

welcomed throughout 2018. To register interest prospective authors should
submit a short article proposal (abstract summary) to the Editorial Office
([log in to unmask])in the first instance.
Overview
The centenary of the Russian Revolution of 1917 has been a cause for
reflection. Political, social and economic change in Russia have reshaped
Russia over the last century, but at the same time, as the return to
autocratic rule under Vladimir Putin shows, there are powerful continuities
in Russia that need to be accounted for.
This article collection will explore how continuity and change have shaped
Russian politics over the last century and their legacies today, and how
different social science disciplines, and interdisciplinary work have taken
account of continuities and change to explain the role of different forces
and institutions in the development of Russia.
Contributions are invited from a range of disciplines and perspectives,
including, but not restricted to: political studies, international
relations, history and sociology.
Articles exploring the following key themes and others of relevance will be
considered:
. Policy continuity and change in Russia
. Perspectives on change in Russian politics and society
. Conceptualising change in Russia
. Sources of change in Russian politics
. Continuity and change in Russian foreign relations
. Legacies of the past in Russian politics
. Social and economic adaptation to change in Russia
The journal operates under an Open Access model
