Content

The unpredictable foreign policy of post-Soviet Russia and its neighbors could be dangerous and consequential for the entire world. This course provides a bird’s eye view on international relations in this region. It argues that in order to better understand the behavior of post-Soviet states on the international arena, we have to examine not only political but also cultural, historical and religious phenomena. The course is grounded on the constructivist paradigm (critical geopolitics) and pays special attention to the factors shaping the collective identities of international actors. Specifically it dwells on the role of Orthodox Christianity, emotions (related to honor and recognition), dominant ideologies, geography and perception of space, literature, arts, and creative imagination.
