Religion and nation-building in Crimea

Nation-building as a process is never complete and issues related to
identity, nation, state and regime-building are recurrent in the
post-Soviet region. This comparative, inter-disciplinary volume explores
how nation-building tools emerged and evolved over the last twenty
years. Featuring in-depth case studies from countries throughout the
post-Soviet space it compares various aspects of nation-building and
identity formation projects. Approaching the issue from a variety of
disciplines, and geographical areas, contributors illustrate chapter by
chapter how different state and non-state actors utilise traditional
instruments of nation-construction in new ways while also developing
non-traditional tools and strategies to provide a contemporary account
of how nation-formation efforts evolve and diverge.
