“…Vladimir Putin’s pension reform provides a suitable case study. First, experts often consider Putin to be not only a populist himself, but a role model for other populist leaders (Lassila 2016; Molyneux and Osbourne 2017). As a leader in power for two decades, and who has won four presidential elections, he has been in office long enough to evaluate the consistency of his messages and the effectiveness of his reforms.…”

Do populists pursue distinct kinds of policies, and if so, how successful are those policies? Populist rhetoric often invokes themes of redistribution insofar as leaders claim that power and resources need to be restored to “the people.” As a result, populists tend to offer a very broad view of social policy that emphasizes security, order, rewards, and punishments. Populists’ narratives may be simple, but once in office, they may face complex problems that call for more sophisticated policy solutions. This study examines whether populist policies fit the messages they deliver to their target voters, and aims to contribute to the development of a methodology for determining that relationship in specific empirical cases. I focus on the case of Russia, which enacted a major change in its old-age pension system in 2018 under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin.

“…This priority has been evidenced in populist leaders from right-wing demagogues such as Donald Trump, riding to power on a wave of protectionist and anti-trade sentiment, to left-wing stalwarts such as Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand, who only became Prime Minister by courting the xenophobic and anti-immigrant "New Zealand First" party of her (future) Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters (C. Johnson et al, 2005). Moreover, this emphasis on anti-globalization has not been limited to democracies, with "authoritarian populism" also a defining feature of the former Soviet Union (Busygina, 2019;Eke & Kuzio, 2000), including Putin's Russia (Burrett, 2020;Lassila, 2016;Robinson & Milne, 2017), and present even in the world's largest autocracy, Communist China (Devinney & Hartwell, 2020;H. Li, 2021).…”

Although populism is an ideologically fluid political vehicle, it is not one that is intrinsically anti-business. Indeed, different varieties of populist parties may encourage business activity for utilitarian ends, but with their own ideas on what businesses should be doing. This reality implies that initiatives not related to national greatness or priorities as defined by the populist leadership may be viewed as redundant. Key among such initiatives would be corporate social responsibility (CSR). In a populist environment, it is possible that firms may divert resources away from broad-based CSR under pressure from populist governments. This article explores the relationship between populist governance and CSR with an econometric examination of over a thousand firms in 13 countries under both pro- and anti-business populist governments at varying times from 2012 to 2020. Using dynamic panel data methods, we find strong evidence that firms substitute away significantly from CSR under populism. This effect grows significantly larger under anti-business populists.

“…Similarly to Navalnyi, who has been challenging Putin's authority by a populist reordering of the dominant stability discourse (Lassila 2016), Tsikhanouskaia challenged the Belarusian leader on his terrain of the 'social contract.' A week after Tsikhanouskaia's televised address, the rally in support of the joint opposition team gathered a record-breaking audience of 25,000 to 63,000 people according to different estimates.…”

This chapter focuses on the experiences of war and forced displacement in the stories of women internally displaced within Georgia, as a result of the armed conflict at the beginning of 1990s in Abkhazia. Based on the ethnographic research and life-story interviews with internally displaced women, this analysis seeks to understand how the IDPs have experienced the violent event, as well as its aftermath. Being consistent with scholars who reject the mind-body dichotomy and acknowledge embodied subjectivities of individuals affected by wars, this chapter argues that dramatic turning points in the lives of individuals affected by armed conflicts are experienced through emotions and feelings, as well as through bodies and bodily sensations reciprocally and in relation to each other.
