The dissolution of the communist system led to the creation of new
states and the formation of new concepts of citizenship in the
post-Soviet states of Central and Eastern Europe. The formation of
national identity also occurred in the context of the process of
increasing economic and political globalisation, particularly the
widening of the European Union to include the central European
post-socialist and Baltic States. Internationally, Russia sought to
establish a new identity either as a European or as a Eurasian
society and had to accommodate the interests of a wider Russian
Diaspora in the 'near abroad'. This book addresses how domestic
elites (regional, political and economic) influenced the formation
of national identities and the ways in which citizenship has been
defined. A second component considers the external dimensions: the
ways in which foreign elites influenced either directly or
indirectly the concept of identity and the interaction with
internal elites. The essays consider the role of the European Union
in attempting to form a European identity. Moreover, the growing
internationalisation of economies (privatisation, monetary
harmonisation, dependence on trade) also had effects on the kind of
'national identity' sought by the new nation states as well as the
defining by them of 'the other'. The collection focuses on the
interrelations between social identity, state and citizenship
formation, and the role of elites in defining the content of
concepts in different post-communist societies. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies.
