Despite socialism's best efforts, ethnic identity remained a
salient feature in Central and Eastern Europe. Not only did
ethno-nationalism help to bring about the fall of the socialist
regimes in this region, but it also characterized much of the
post-socialist politics. Nation-Building and Minority Politics
examines the issue of minority politics in post-socialist states
within this dual structure. In particular, it offers an in-depth
analysis of post-restoration politics in Estonia and Latvia,
covering four issues. First, it looks at the historical context of
the current group relations. Second, the study explores the
domestic nature of minority politics in Estonia and Latvia by
looking at domestic politics and policies. Third, it examines the
role of the Russian Federation as an 'external national homeland'
through illustrating developments within Russian foreign policy.
Finally, the book analyses the role of three significant European
organizations, namely the OSCE, EU and the Council of Europe as
agents of 'conditionality'. Overall, this study combines old and
new theoretical approaches to nation-building and minority politics
to exhibit the changing nature of the relationship between
majority, minority, external national homeland, and international
organizations in today's Europe.
