A comprehensive and revelatory history of modern Belarus - from independence to 2020’s contested election In 2020 Belarus made headlines around the world when protests erupted in the aftermath of a fraught presidential election. Andrew Wilson explores both Belarus’s complicated road to nationhood and its politics and economics since it gained independence in 1991. Two new chapters reveal the extent of Aliaksandr Lukashenka’s grip on power, the growth of the opposition movement and the violent crackdown that followed the vote. Wilson also examines the prospects for Europe as a whole of either Lukashenka’s downfall or his survival with Russian support. “Andrew Wilson has done all students of European politics a great service by making the history of Belarus comprehensible and by showing how the future of Belarus might be different than its present.”—Timothy Snyder, author of Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin

This book is concerned with European identities among ethnic minorities who live along the eastern border of the European Union. Based on findings from quantitative and qualitative empirical research conducted with minority groups in eight nation-states on both sides of the new eastern border of the EU, it investigates their attitudes and perceptions of the EU based on their constructions of European identity. Adopting a comparative approach, the author explores different processes of identity construction across several age and ethnic minority groups, to develop a theory of European identities in which ethnic identities can be seen as a missing link in explaining relationships between different national, regional and supranational identities. With new insights regarding the political, cultural and instrumental contents of European identity and its emergence, this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology and politics with interests in ethnic identity, European integration and identity research.
Com enfoque no espaço Euro-Atlântico, este volume analisa as relações da Rússia com atores diversos, em níveis de análise diferenciados, e com ênfase nas dimensões de atuação relevantes a nível político, económico e de segurança. Destacam-se o espaço pós-soviético, área vital de atuação e influência russa; as relações com a União Europeia (UE); o Ártico, pelos recursos energéticos abundantes e pelas rotas de distribuição; as relações com os Estados Unidos da América; as relações com a Turquia, um ator emergente com estatuto regional importante para a diplomacia de Moscovo; e as relações no quadro do Médio Oriente, região em grande mudança desde a primavera Árabe com implicações para a diplomacia russa. De um modo inclusivo esta análise visa clarificar os alinhamentos de política externa russa mais de duas décadas após o fim da União Soviética, com todas as implicações que lhe estão subjacentes, constituindo um contributo fundamental para a compreensão das relações internacionais russas num contexto em mudança.
