This book explores the origins, manifestations, and functions of Pan-Slavism in contemporary Central and Eastern Europe. In particular, it argues that despite the extinction of Pan-Slavism as an articulated Romantic-era geopolitical ideology, a number of related discourses, metaphors, and emotions have spilled over into the mainstream debates and popular imagination. Using the term Slavophilia to capture the range of representations, the volume lookas at how geopolitical discourses shape the identity and policies of a community. The book further provides a comparative analysis that covers a range of Slavic countries in order to understand how Pan-Slavisim works and resonates across geograhpic and political contexts. It highlights the political use of Pan-Slavic and Slavophilic ideas that seeks to question and undermine Western democracy and supranational instutions and ideas, such as the EU.
Recenzijos
This is a praiseworthy book that both complements Kohns classic treatment of the subject in his 1953 book Pan-Slavism: Its History and Ideology and updates the story, following right through to the current war in Ukraine. Students of Russian, Belarusian and East European history will profit greatly from reading this new classic. (Sabrina P. Ramet, Europe-Asia Studies, April 29, 2024)
