Ethno-territorial problems in Russia: Questions and paradigms

Abstract

Economic growth of the past decades coupled with the recent waves of democratization allowed to hope that multiculturalism and political tolerance could help to marginalize extreme nationalism and ethnic extremism. Nevertheless, political pressures exerted by ethnic and national minorities worldwide continue to pose multifarious challenges. The article examines some main debates on the subject that take place in Russia and beyond. The author argues that modern paradigms are not capable to provide us with an exhaustive framework that could tackle minority nationalism successfully. Instead of «eliminating» or «neglecting» the problem of ethnic minority nationalism we should think of new concepts that could help to integrate it into modern politics.
