This book discusses the significance of cultural symbols/'images'
in the nation-building of Eurasian states that emerged out of the
former Soviet Union. It particularly focuses on the cases of
Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in the post-Soviet era and argues that
the relationship between nation- and image-building has been
particularly relevant for Eurasian states. In an increasingly
globalized world, nation-state building is no longer an activity
confined to the domestic arena. The situating of the state within
the global space and its 'image' in the international community
(nation branding) becomes in many ways as crucial as the projection
of homogeneity within the state. The relationship between politics
and cultural symbols/ 'images', therefore acquires and represents
multiple possibilities. It is these possibilities that are the
focus of Symbols and the Image of the State in Eurasia. It argues
that the relationship between politics and cultural symbols/
'images', became particularly relevant for states that emerged in
the wake of the disintegration of the Soviet Union in Central Asia.
It extends the argument further to contend that the image that the
state projects is largely determined by its legacy and it attempts
to do this by taking into account the Uzbek and Kazakh cases. In
the shaping of the post-Soviet future these legacies and
projections as well as the policy implications of these projections
in terms of governmentality and foreign policy have been decisive.
