Explaining the pattern of Russian authoritarian diffusion in Armenia
Sean Roberts and Ulrike Ziemer · 2018
Catalogue summary
Roberts and Ziemer use elite and expert interviews to test whether Armenia's growing dependence on Russia produced convergence with Russian authoritarian practices after 2013. They find evidence of influence but argue that incentives and legitimacy costs limited direct adoption of restrictive policy.
Why this matters
It supplies an evidence-based way to separate Russian leverage from actual policy convergence in Armenia's political development.
