Flexible Authoritarianism: Cultivating Ambition and Loyalty in Russia - Oxford Studies in Culture and Politics
Schwenck, Anna (Teacher of Sociology, Teacher of Sociology, Department of Social Sciences at Siegen University, Germany)
Flexible Authoritarianism challenges the idea that the transnational rise of authoritarianism is a backlash against economic globalization and neoliberal capitalism. Flexible authoritarianism--a form of government that simultaneously incentivizes a can-do spirit and suppresses dissent--reflects the resonance between authoritarian and neoliberal ideologies in today's comeback of strongman rule. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, Anna Schwenk critically evaluates how loyalty to the regime--the order underlying political and economic life in a polity--is produced and contested among those young people who seek key positions in politics, business, the public sector, or creative industries.
