Routledge - Neighbourhood Perceptions of the Ukraine Crisis

Explore the complex geopolitical landscape of Eurasia with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines the shifting perceptions of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and how neighboring countries view the changing borders of the region. By analyzing recent events, including the incorporation of Crimea, the text challenges the assumption that all residents in these areas automatically desire alignment with Western Europe. This work provides a deep look at how material and psychological borders function in post-Soviet politics. It moves beyond simple political shifts to look at the human element, investigating how inhabitants of the peninsula and surrounding border regions perceive their own identities and political futures. It is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in anthropology, sociology, and the evolving political boundaries of the former Soviet Union.
