It analyses to what extent Russia's cultural activities abroad have been used for foreign policy purposes, and perceived as having a political dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the concept of cultural statecraft, the authors present a broad and nuanced view of how Russia sees the role of culture in its external relations, how this shapes the image of Russia, and the ways in which this cultural statecraft is received by foreign audiences. The expert team of contributors consider: what choices are made in fostering this agenda; how Russian state authorities see the purpose and limits of various cultural instruments; to what extent can the authorities shape these instruments; what domains have received more attention and become more politicised and what fields have remained more autonomous. The methodological research design of the book as a whole is a comparative case study comparing the nature of Russian cultural statecraft across time, target countries and diverse cultural domains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt will be of interest to scholars and students of Russian foreign policy and external relations and those working on the role of culture in world politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSirke Mäkinen\u003c\/b\u003e is University Lecturer in Russian and Eurasian Studies at the Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki, Finland, and the Head of the Nationwide Expertise in Russian and Eastern European Studies (ExpREES) programme. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuomas Forsberg is Director of the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies (HCAS) at the University of Helsinki and Professor of International Relations at Tampere University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 31, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52842611572960,"sku":"9780367694364","price":108.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/Nap0tp1eLp9780367694364.webp?v=1781209359","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/russias-cultural-statecraft-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
