XXI April Academic Conference: Presentation by Professor Paul Chaisty on ‘Attitudinal Consolidation in Russia in Comparative Perspective: Survey Evidence from 1993-2018’

Presentation by invited speaker of the XXI April Conference prof. Paul Chaisty (Oxford University, UK).

Abstract: Attitudinal consolidation in Russia in comparative perspective: Survey evidence from 1993-2018 (co-authored with Stephen Whitefield, Oxford University)

This talk will explore the extent to which there has been the consolidation of public attitudes towards political issues in Russia over the last quarter of a century. More specifically, it will examine whether citizens’ judgements about policies across a range of issue areas have become less normative and more rooted in citizens’ experiences, interests, social locations, and organisational attachments. Drawing on surveys conducted at regular intervals since the early 1990s, it will seek to identify the ways in which the structure of citizens’ political attitudes in Russia differs (if at all) from 'consolidated' cases, and whether it is necessary to reconsider theories of attitudinal consolidation in the context of 21st century politics.
