Reviews
As the first English-language study to focus explicitly on digital geopolitics in the context of Russia, Eurasia 2.0 has its finger on the pulse. In providing valuable analyses of emerging political narratives, it fills an important gap in the literature at a crucial historical juncture.... Overall, this is a very strong book... [T]he volume is... an excellent and timely collection that will prove invaluable to both students and more seasoned academics working on contemporary Russia. * Inner Asia * The Eurasia 2.0: Russian Geopolitics in the Age of New Media volume masterfully demonstrates that certain recurrent assumptions of geopolitics continue to be very relevant today, particularly when the issues of power and influence touch upon the questions of ideology, national character, and identity. Mikhail Suslov, Mark Bassin and all contributors to this excellent collection of essays go a long way towards uncovering the uneven and multifaceted character of changes in Russia and the politics of identity in Eurasia.... Overall, the book is an important, timely and relevant effort to understand the re-emerging concept of geopolitics in the age of new media. The amount of nuanced research in this volume is noteworthy.... Eurasia 2.0 is a valuable scholarly contribution, which provides a much-needed indication of the processes and challenges in Eurasia, and which will serve as a foundation for future projects. * Europe Now * Eurasia 2.0: Russian Geopolitics in the Age of New Media: a most innovative important collection of essays on the geopolitical perspective of post-Soviet Eurasian identity politics and national interest analyzed in the spatial context by digital media. -- Jutta Scherrer, Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales This wide-ranging and challenging collection brings together some of the world's leading scholars to provide a powerful insight into contemporary Russian and Eurasian developments. The exciting new framework of `digital geopolitics' shows interdisciplinary studies at its best. The vivid and lively contributions range freely across geopolitics, the media, movies, and various forms of identity politics. The digital world is here presented as a new public sphere in which nations and regions look for themselves, and in so doing, provides a unique window into the soul of a people. -- Richard Sakwa, University of Kent
