可信度革命与俄罗斯研究的未来

可信度革命改变了定量社会科学，对俄罗斯研究来说既是诅咒也是祝福。一方面，俄罗斯成为实验主义研究的一个有吸引力的领域，这使得俄罗斯研究在更广泛的学科中获得了前所未有的认可。另一方面，对因果关系识别的关注可能会导致对与理解俄罗斯相关的潜在重要主题以及能够增强一般社会科学话语的俄罗斯环境的某些方面的关注不足。乌克兰战争使得许多用于研究俄罗斯的因果关系识别设计（自然实验除外）难以或不可能实施。至少在某种程度上，这可能会使人们有必要回到其他方法，不再强调因果关系的确定。与此同时，一般社会科学学科将如何看待这种重点转移的问题仍然存在。
ABSTRACT The credibility revolution transformed quantitative social sciences and was both a curse and a blessing for Russian studies. On the one hand, Russia turned out to be an attractive field for experimentalist research, which allowed Russian studies to gain unprecedented recognition in the broader disciplines. On the other hand, a focus on causal identification could have contributed to insufficient attention to potentially important topics relevant for understanding Russia and to some aspects of the Russian setting able to augment the general social science discourse. The war in Ukraine makes many causal identification designs used for studying Russia (with the exception of natural experiments) difficult or impossible to implement. It may make the return to other approaches and de-emphasizing causal identification necessary, at least to some extent. At the same time, the question remains of how the general social science disciplines will perceive such shift in focus.
