Full Description
Argues that nationalism and ethnic conflict can be used as strategies to achieve power and influence
Collects 8 thoroughly revised articles and book chapters, together with a new introductory theoretical chapter, based on P l Kolst 's 30 years of study of nationalism and ethnic conflict in post-Soviet states
Uses inter-related case studies in Russia and the former Soviet Union
Theoretically informed, with both an overarching theoretical framework and chapter-specific theoretical discussions
Shows how the resurgence of ethnonationalism in the post-Soviet world compells us to re-examine the dynamics of ethnic conflict
Based on specific empirical cases, drawing on a wealth of primary sources
With a new introductory theoretical chapter, the book collects eight thoroughly revised articles and book chapters on nationalism and ethnic conflict in post Soviet states. Kolst examines how the drivers behind ethnic conflicts in the non-Russian republics were not only the struggles for collective identities but also more mundane interests, such as competition for jobs and positions.He also analyses the transformations of Russian nationalism, both among the ruling elite and in the opposition, with a particular focus on the use of symbolism.
Exploring nationalism as a pervasive feature of politics in the modern world, Kolst argues that both state leaders and 'ethnic entrepreneurs' employ nationalist rhetoric and stratagems to further their political agendas and achieve particular goals. He examines some of the ways this is used as a political strategy and focuses on nationalism at the societal level and as a state strategy.
