What explains the rise of populist movements across the West and
their affinity towards Russia? UKIP's Brexit victory, Trump's
triumph, and the successive elections and referendums in Europe
were united by a repudiation of the liberal international order.
These new political forces envision the struggle to reproduce and
advance Western civilisation to be fought along a
patriotism-cosmopolitanism or nationalism-globalism battlefield, in
which Russia becomes a partner rather than an adversary. Armed with
neomodernism and geoeconomics, Russia has inadvertently taken on a
central role in the decay of Western civilisation. This book
explores the cooperation and competition between Western and
Russian civilisation and the rise of anti-establishment political
forces both contesting the international liberal order and
expressing the desire for closer relations with Russia. Diesen
proposes that Western civilisation has reached a critical juncture
as modern society (gesellschaft) has overwhelmed and exhausted the
traditional community (gemeinschaft) and shows the causes for the
decay of Western civilisation and the subsequent impact on
cooperation and conflict with Russia. The author also considers
whether Russia's international conservativism is authentic and can
negate the West's decadence, or if it is merely a shrewd strategy
by a rival civilisation also in decay. This volume will be of
interest to scholars of international relations, political science,
security studies, international political economy, and Russian
studies.
