Abstract

This chapter offers an overview of post-Soviet regionalism with reference to the existing literature. It reviews the main analytical frameworks and conceptual models which have been developed in relation to the post-Soviet region, and how the latter has been interpreted and read by different scholars. The chapter then attempts to reposition post-Soviet regionalism within an International Relations perspective, interpreting it as an instance of fundamental historical phenomena of integration and fragmentation occurring in the international system. In so doing, the chapter presents a trans-historical analysis of post-imperial peripheries.
