• W2186918346 abstract "This dissertation analyzes the Russian post-Soviet foreign policy debate from the point of view of the emergence of two interrelated and mutually reinforcing discourses – discourse on „geopolitics‟ and discourse on „Eurasianism‟. Instead of equating „geopolitics‟ with the post-1993 emphasis on great power competition for territorial control and dismissing „Eurasianism‟ as strategically employed myth-making the way most of the existing literature does, this dissertation views the „geopolitics‟/‟Eurasianism‟ constellation through the prism of the link between Russia‟s post-Soviet foreign policy and its evolving political identity. The discussion is placed within the poststructuralist theoretical framework that stresses identityconstitutive effects of foreign policy discourses and, more broadly, attempts to problematize the sedimentation of the social with the help of the political. In particular, different versions of the „geopolitics‟/‟Eurasianism‟ constellation are analyzed from the point of view of how well they address the problem of European hegemony in the Russian political discourse and conceptualize post-Soviet Russia‟s political subjectivity. The study thus draws a comparison between two discourses on „geopolitics‟/‟Eurasianism‟ – the „pragmatic‟ nationalist discourse advocated by Russian foreign-policy makers, and „civilizational‟ geopolitical discourse critical of the official coupling of „geopolitics‟ and „Eurasianism‟. Instead of reducing the „pragmatic‟ nationalist discourse to instrumentalist foreign policy making, it is conceptualized in terms of its contribution to the process of Russian post-Soviet identity construction. Pragmatic nationalist „geopolitics‟/‟Eurasianism‟ constellation is understood as an attempt to tackle European hegemony by negating relations that contradict Russia‟s vision of itself and by grounding Russia‟s great power status in geography. By contrast, „civilizational‟ geopolitics is positioned as a discourse of critique and contestation whereby the Eurocentrism/Western-centrism of Russian collective self-identification is „destabilized‟ through a reconceptualization of Russian post-Soviet foreign policy. This reconceptualization, in turn, is achieved through a reappraisal of the conceptual legacies of European inter-war geopolitics and Russian post-revolutionary Eurasianism. Thus, the research question and, at the same time, the puzzle that informs this study is why – why did post-Soviet Russia witness a rise of „civilizational‟ geopolitics that proceeded by way of revisiting both classical geopolitics and classical Eurasianism? In order to answer this question, the dissertation analyzes both traditions through the prism of the link between foreign policy and identity. The study concludes that while identity construction was employed instrumentally by the representatives of the classical geopolitical tradition, the classical Eurasian argument constantly oscillated between putting politics to the service of national cultural development or converting territoriality into identity. Consequently, the major contributions of „civilizational‟ geopolitics – the geopolitical constructions „Continent Eurasia‟ and „Island Russia‟ – are assessed based on whether they succeed in conceptualizing Russia‟s political subjectivity by way of forging a non-instrumentalist and non-essentialist link between Russia‟s civilizational distinctiveness and its post-Soviet foreign policy." @default.
