This book analyzes the evolution of Russian military thought and how Russia's current thinking about war is reflected in recent crises. While other books describe current Russian practice, Oscar Jonsson provides the long view to show how Russian military strategic thinking has developed from the Bolshevik Revolution to the present. He examines Russian primary sources including security doctrines and the writings and statements of Russian military theorists and political elites.

Do minimum wage increases mobilize low-income people? We measure the effect of minimum wage increases on voting behavior in two ways. First, we merge public records of New York City municipal employee wages to voting records to observe voting by people affected and unaffected by the minimum wage across multiple elections. Difference-in-differences estimates indicate that recent increases in New York's minimum wage increased voter turnout among low-income workers by several percentage points.
