| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research project analyses Russian-state controlled news coverage of Japan, China, Ukraine, the UK and U.S. to better understand Russia's changing foreign policy during President Putin's 20 years in power.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Since April 2023 I have completed research for two chapters that will form part of the book I will publish on Russian media and foreign relations and that will be the main output of this kakenhi project. The book is on track for submission at the end of this year in December. The book is under contract with Routledge.
In November 2023, I published a book entitled ‘Contemporary Prime Ministerial Leadership in Britain and Japan’ with Palgrave. In December 2023 I gave a book talk on my new book at Sophia University's Institute of Comparative Culture.
An article I wrote on the sources of political legitimacy of the Putin government in Russia has been accepted for publication by the journal Politics and Governance (peer reviewed). I will be published in January 2024.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
My project is on track to be completed by March 2025. I have almost completed my book manuscript on Russia's media and foreign policy. I will make a final research trip to Central Asia this summer to complete some final research for my chapter on this region. I will submit my book to the publisher to whom it is under contract in December. The book will be published in mid 2025.
I have had to redraft and reframe some of my earlier book chapters for this project in light of the renewed war in Ukraine. But on a positive note, the importance of my research topic on Russian media and international relations is now more evident to scholars and the general public. I hope this will increase interest in the book I propose to publish.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I plan to be in Central Asia to research my final book chapter in summer 2025. While there I will meet with journalists and activists who are experts on Russian media reporting on the region. I will also undertake some preliminary research on public opinion in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan on Russia's war in Ukraine. I will hold informal focus groups to gauge opinion. I will also talk to political activists about how the war is changing attitudes to Russia in Central Asian countries.
In the autumn I will finish my final book chapter. I will proof read and edit my full manuscript and submit it to my publisher by my deadline 31 December 2024. I anticipate spending the final three months of my kakenhi project compiling the index for my book and actioning any edits from my publisher.
