| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The idea of Eurasianism has been an old one in Russia, the history of which can be traced back to the early years of the 20th century. As Mankoff (2009) explains, at a basic level, the concept means that ‘Russia’s fundamental identity, and hence foreign policy priorities, are linked to its geographical position at the crossroads between Europe and Asia.’ It asserts belief in the idea that Russia’s location puts it in a unique position to ascend as a great power while also laying claim to a unique civilization and ethos that is distinct from the Western civilization. |
