Professor Taylor’s research focuses on the role of state coercive organizations, such as the military and the police, in domestic politics. Additional interests include comparative state-building and comparative federalism. His geographic area of specialization is Russia and the post-Soviet region.
He has recently completed a book on Russia’s power ministries, especially law enforcement structures, and their role in state building in the post-Soviet period. Other projects include reform of law enforcement structures in Russia, patrimonialism in the power ministries in post-soviet countries, and the implications for civil-military relations theory of the changing nature of war and states.
