Quel est le modèle politique de la Russie de Vladimir Poutine ? Ce travail de thèse propose une analyse compréhensive du cas russe grâce au concept de néopatrimonialisme. En s'inspirant de la sociologie politique des élites, de la sociologie historique de l'Etat et de l'économie politique nous proposons de reconstruire les logiques d'actions des acteurs dans le cadre d'un système d'interaction dont l'Etat néopatrimonial est un idéaltype. Celui-ci tient à deux dimensions essentielles qui légitiment sa domination : l'autocratie institutionnalisée renvoie aux rouages politiques, tandis que le capitalisme de connivence illustre le rôle de l'entreprise néopatrimoniale et des réseaux politico-économiques dans la redistribution des ressources. Malgré sa stabilité, ce modèle produit des effets émergeants dont la « dépolitisation institutionnelle » qui rend impossible l'institutionnalisation du pluralisme politique tandis que la confusion des sphères politique et économique participe à l'émergence d'une classe dirigeante qui verrouille les espaces de renouvellement élitaire.

State structures, international forces, and class relations: Theda Skocpol shows how all three combine to explain the origins and accomplishments of social-revolutionary transformations. Social revolutions have been rare but undeniably of enormous importance in modern world history. States and Social Revolutions provides a new frame of reference for analyzing the causes, the conflicts, and the outcomes of such revolutions. It develops a rigorous, comparative historical analysis of three major cases: the French Revolution of 1787 through the early 1800s, the Russian Revolution of 1917 through the 1930s, and the Chinese Revolution of 1911 through the 1960s. Believing that existing theories of revolution, both Marxist and non-Marxist, are inadequate to explain the actual historical patterns of revolutions, Skocpol urges us to adopt fresh perspectives. Above all, she maintains that states conceived as administrative and coercive organizations potentially autonomous from class controls and interests must be made central to explanations of revolutions.

Belarus has emerged from communism in a unique manner as an authoritarian regime. The author, who has lived in Belarus for several years, highlights several mechanisms of tyranny, beyond the regime’s ability to control and repress, which should not be underestimated. The book immerses the reader in the depths of the Belarusian countryside, among the kolkhozes and rural communities at the heart of this authoritarian regime under Alexander Lukashenko, and offers vivid descriptions of the everyday life of Belarusians. It sheds light on the reasons why part of the population supports Lukashenko and takes a fresh look at the functioning of what has been called 'the last dictatorship in Europe'.
