Abstract

The book summarizes more than 40 years of research and observations of the author as an academic scientist, university lecturer and adviser to the President of Russia on National Policy (1996-1999). It has three parts. The first part (Theory) is devoted to debatable issues about the essence of ethnic and national phenomena in their connection with political factors. Here the author presents his approach to the well-known concepts of studying ethnicity and nation, as well as his theoretical concepts, such as the imperial syndrome. The second part of the book (History) presents an analysis of the radical fluctuations of ethnonational politics in the USSR and in modern Russia from the standpoint of the author's concept of the ethnopolitical pendulum. The third part (Management Practice) analyzes the key concepts of ethno-political management in multiethnic societies and suggests some adjustments to the modern Russian national policy in the light of the paradigm of cultural diversity management.
