Juliette Faure's The Rise of the Russian Hawks offers a rich blend of historical research, sociology of ideas and discourses, and the interaction of networks and ruling elites to illuminate the ideological sources of the Russian divergence. With extensive textual analysis and in person interviews, she illuminates the world of 'modernist' and 'dynamic' conservatism from the Soviet era to Russian aggression against Ukraine. Drawing on hypotheses about reactionary modernism and the integration of elements of modernity with cultural conservatism, Faure explores two generations of Russian intellectuals who managed to combine skilful discourse, effective networks, and access to political power to fashion what she calls the 'hegemonic discourse' in Putin's Russia. The result is a work of contemporary intellectual history and social science analysis that should be of great interest to her fellow scholars, policy analysts and policy makers, and concerned citizens.'

Departing from realist and constructivist explanations of foreign policy focused on Vladimir Putin, Juliette Faure highlights the influence of elite groups with diverse strategic cultures and reveals how, even under authoritarian rule, a competitive space exists where rival elites contest their visions of national interests. Demonstrating the regime's strategic use of ideological ambiguity to maintain policy flexibility, Faure offers a fresh lens on the domestic factors that have played into the Russian regime's decision to wage war against Ukraine and their implications for international security, regional stability and the global balance of power.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
