Ethnicity, Nation and Politics: Critical Essays in Ethnopolitical Science

The history of political processes in the Russian Empire, the formation of the Soviet statehood, its subsequent collapse, and the events taking place in modern Russia are difficult to consider in isolation from the interests of the various national and ethnic communities that made up the state in different periods of its existence. Emil Paine's book is devoted to the problems of ethnopolitology and summarizes more than forty years of research and observations of its author. The first part ("Theory") is devoted to the debated questions about the essence of ethnic and national phenomena in their connection with political factors. The author offers his interpretation of well-known approaches to the study of ethnicity and nationhood, as well as his own theoretical concepts, in particular, such as the "imperial syndrome". The second part of the book ("History") analyzes the radical fluctuations of ethno-national politics in the USSR and modern Russia from the perspective of the author's theory of "ethno-political pendulum". The third part ("Practice") analyzes key concepts of ethno-political governance in multi-ethnic societies and proposes some adjustments to contemporary Russian national policy in the light of the paradigm of cultural diversity management. Emil Abramovich Paine is a Doctor of Political Science, Professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics and former Advisor to the President of Russia on National Policy (1996-1999).
