Summary:
In the course of Vladimir Putin's third presidential term, many of the doctrines and ideas associated with Eurasianism have moved to the centre of public political discourses in Russia. Eurasianism, both Russian and non-Russian, is politically active - influential and contested - in debates about identity, popular culture or foreign policy narratives. Deploying a variety of theoretical frameworks and perspectives, the chapters in The Politics of Eurasianism work together to shed light on both Eurasianism's plasticity and its contemporary weight, and they examine how its tropes and discourses are appropriated, interpreted, modulated and deployed politically by national groups, oppositional forces (left or right), prominent intellectuals, artists and, last but not least, government elites. In doing so, this collection addresses essential themes and questions currently shaping the post-Soviet world and beyond. Book jacket.
