Russia's postcolonial identity
Title Russia's postcolonial identity : a subaltern empire in a Eurocentric world / Viatcheslav Morozov Author Morozov, Viatcheslav, 1972- (Author) Issue First published Publication Basingstoke, Hampshire ; New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2015 Scope viii, 209 stran ; 23 cm Country United Kingdom ; United States Language English Edition Central and Eastern European perspectives on international relations Note Obsahuje bibliografii, bibliografické odkazy a rejstřík Annotation "This book applies postcolonial theory to Russia by looking at it as a subaltern empire. It pushes postcolonial studies and constructivist international relations towards an uneasy dialogue, which produces tensions and reveals multiple blind spots in both approaches. A critical re-evaluation of the existing literature enables the author to produce a comprehensive account of how Russia's position in the international system has conditioned its domestic development, and how this in turn generated specific foreign policy outcomes. Having internalised the Eurocentric worldview, Russia is nevertheless different from the core European countries. This difference is not determined by 'culture', but rather by uneven and combined development of global capitalism, in which Russia is integrated as a semi-peripheral nation. The Russian state has colonised its own periphery on behalf of the Western core, but has never been able to overcome economic and normative dependency on the West. The peculiar dialectic of the subaltern and the imperial during the post-Soviet period has given rise to a regime which claims to defend 'genuine Russian values', while in fact there is nothing behind this new traditionalism but the negation of Western hegemony. Trying to 'defend' the nation from the postulated threat of Western interventionism, the regime engages in a disavowal of politics and thus suppresses popular subjectivity. The only political subject that remains on the horizon of Russian politics is the West, while the Russian people, as any other subaltern, are being spoken for, and thus silenced, by the country's Eurocentric elites and the Western intellectuals"-- Cover Výrazy tezauru Rusko * mezinárodní politika * globalizace * Evropa * 21. století Klasifikační znaky 0806 - Mezinárodní politika 0406 - Politický rámec ISBN 978-1-137-40929-4 Copy count 1, currently available 1 URL Russia's postcolonial identity (náhled do publikace / Google Books) Document kind Monografie
