Russian Eurasianism : An Ideology of Empire, Paperback / softback Book

Russian Eurasianism : An Ideology of Empire Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia has been marginalized at the edge of a Western-dominated political and economic system.

In recent years, however, leading Russian figures, including former president Vladimir Putin, have begun to stress a geopolitics that puts Russia at the center of a number of axes: European-Asian, Christian-Muslim-Buddhist, Mediterranean-Indian, Slavic-Turkic, and so on.

This volume examines the political presuppositions and expanding intellectual impact of Eurasianism, a movement promoting an ideology of Russian-Asian greatness, which has begun to take hold throughout Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey.

Eurasianism purports to tell Russians what is unalterably important about them and why it can only be expressed in an empire.

Using a wide range of sources, Marlene Laruelle discusses the impact of the ideology of Eurasianism on geopolitics, interior policy, foreign policy, and culturalist philosophy.
