Pathways after Empire

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the impact of national identity, the book examines how post-Soviet states formulated their foreign economic policies following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Using a constructivist lens, Andrei P. Tsygankov analyzes case studies from Latvia, Ukraine, and Belarus, revealing that stronger national identities led to a greater tendency to pivot economic activities away from Russia and toward Europe. By integrating qualitative and quantitative methods, the study enhances the understanding of international political economy through the lens of cultural influences.
