Identity and Experience in Post-Soviet Europe

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Politics with a Human Face presents a holistic understanding of political identity formation in post-Soviet Europe, drawing on the thought of Dilthey and Gadamer to employ empathy as a method, together with visual and historical analysis, in an analysis the role of human experience and non-rationalistic factors in post-Soviet politics. With studies of cases including Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and Russia, as well as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the author examines issues of liminal transition, 'far-right' movements, victimhood, ethnic conflict and political paradoxes, shedding shed light on the region's agency and perception of both its own political and existential situation, and that of the surrounding world.
