Russia’s National Security in Aleksandr Dugin’s Neo Eurasianism

This book is all about understanding Russian thinking on security. Marcin Składanowski argues that that Aleksandr G. Dugin, in a radicalized form, presents thinking about security typical of the Russian political tradition, which is nationalist, state-centric, and anti-Western. Aleksandr Dugin is an extremely radical thinker. Nevertheless, it is worth dealing with his thought because it shows in an exaggerated form how the evolution of social and political ideas took place in the history of Russia, which led to Putin's contemporary neo-imperialism. This book presents the Russian discourse on national security against a broader background of global academic reflection, takes a closer look at the sources and ideological basis of the concept of Russia’s security developed by Dugin, discusses the subject and main dimensions of Russia’s national security in Dugin’s works, and shows the importance of Russia’s foreign policy for the creation of its national security.
