Brings togther scholars from Spain, the UK, Belarus, Latvia, Russia, and the Ukraine to assess the reasons for the resurgence of nationalism in Russia, the CIS and the Baltic States. This book focuses on national policy in the communist period, the role of different ethnic bases in the formation of post-communist national identity, the nature of the various types of nationalist ideologies and their impact on the formation of territorial and ethnic identity, and the socio-economic and political consequences of different types of national identity, ethnic conflict and growing nationalist sentiments on the democratization process in Russia, Belarus, the Ukraine, Moldova, Latvia, and Estonia. What emerges is that debates surrounding ethnicity and nationalism in the former USSR are likely to remain a powerful force determining the nature and shape of many of the post-communist countries.
