The Politics of Eurasianism

Deploying a variety of theoretical frameworks and perspectives, the chapters in this book 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 ciollection addresses essential themes and questions currently shaping the post-Soviet world and beyond.
