Description: Politics of the Russian Language Beyond Russia by Christian Noack Examines Russian language politics and its impact on different Russian speaking communities FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Russian policy documents increasingly emphasise the importance of miagakaia sila for securing Russias foreign policy interests. Looking at the politics of Russian in a range of countries including the Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Ireland and Germany, this book examines Russian language promotion and its reception in different countries and across different contexts. Bringing together leading scholars in the field, the book examines the politics of the Russian language, the role of the Russian Federation in influencing these politics and the challenges that the promotion of Russian faces in particular contexts across the globe. Taking a comparative approach, the book also examines the institutional set-up and practice of Russias language promotion in relation to its British, French and German counterparts and against the history of Soviet cultural diplomacy. Back Cover Russia increasingly emphasises the importance of soft power for securing its foreign policy interests, but recent research has paid more attention to Russias intentions rather than to the receiving end of its cultural and public diplomacy. This volume seeks to address this gap and explore the specifics of both Russian language promotion and its acceptance in a number of case and country studies, including Ukraine, Germany and Ireland. A range of scholars discuss the legal status and the practical use of Russian for communication or media use, both in the near and the far abroad, examining the politics of the Russian language, the role of the Russian Federation in influencing these politics and the challenges that the promotion of Russian faces in particular contexts across the globe.Christian Noack is associate professor with the chair group of East European Studies at the University of Amsterdam, where he also served as director of the Amsterdam School for Regional, Transnational and European Studies between 2015 and 2019.Cover image: from the project Artconstitution, 2003, Alexander Sigutin, used with the permission of the artist and S.ART (Petr Vois gallery)Cover design: Michael Chatfield[EUP logo] edinburghuniversitypress.comISBN 978-1-4744-6379-9Barcode Flap Russia increasingly emphasises the importance of soft power for securing its foreign policy interests, but recent research has paid more attention to Russias intentions rather than to the receiving end of its cultural and public diplomacy.
