Title: Ideology and National Identity in Post-communist Foreign Policy
Abstract: Ideology and its place in the political system of communism were much debated, particularly its impact on the content of policy, including foreign policy. What is clear is that, as in all other features of political life, communist states’ foreign policies were meant to be directed by agents of Marxism-Leninism. The very disparate states of the post-communist world share the legacy of jettisoning that ideology, and whether they have had some partial or extensive historical experience of independent statehood or are engaging in entirely new nation- and state-building, the role of national identity in foreign policy proves significant. Whether this can be seen as a new ideology is a problematic issue that deserves analysis.
