This book provides an in-depth analysis of how mobilization and
legitimation for war are made possible, with a focus on Russia's
conflict with Chechnya. Through which processes do leaders and
their publics come to define and accept certain conflicts as
difficult to engage in, and others as logical, even necessary?
Drawing on a detailed study of changes in Russia's approach to
Chechnya, this book argues that 're-phrasing' Chechnya as a
terrorist threat in 1999 was essential to making the use of
violence acceptable to the Russian public. The book refutes popular
explanations that see Russian war-making as determined and grounded
in a sole, authoritarian leader. Close study of the statements and
texts of Duma representatives, experts and journalists before and
during the war demonstrates how the Second Chechen War was made a
'legitimate' undertaking through the efforts of many. A
post-structuralist reinterpretation of securitization theory guides
and structures the book, with discourse theory and method employed
as a means to uncover the social processes that make war
acceptable. More generally, the book provides a framework for
understanding the broad social processes that underpin legitimized
war-making. This book will be of much interest to students of
Russian politics, critical terrorism studies, security studies and
international relations.
