Description - Conflicting Loyalties and the State in Post-Soviet Eurasia by Coppieters Bruno
This book analyses the political impact that ethnic, confessional and regional factors have had in the reconfiguration of the former Soviet space. It contains a number of thematic chapters - on Soviet nationality policy, on Islam in Russia today and on Bolshevik policies towards Islam in the early Soviet period. These synoptic chapters contain the following case studies: They include the enclave of Kaliningrad; the Ukraine, the Crimea within Ukraine each with its own turmoil within. The final chapter relates the evolution of these regions' conflicting loyalties to the global weakening of the nation-state, and distinguishes what is particular to the Soviet state and its demise from that more general phenomenon. The volume therefore covers a number of the more significant questions of analytical importance posed by the collapse of a major contemporary multi-national state.
