This work covers the Crimean crisis of 2014, i.e. the EuroMaidan that started in Kyiv, in November 2013, and that was followed by the Anti-Maidan in the Crimea, and, as a result, the proclamation of independence, as well as the unification of the Crimea with Russia via referendum. Contrary to the views of some experts who argue that the Crimean crisis and the annexation of the Crimea as well as the developments in the aftermath of this annexation could be explained with the reference to foreign policies of Kyiv and Moscow, this thesis argues that local regional dynamics in the form of historical, social, cultural, political and economic structures have played a decisive role in the outbreak and development of the Ukrainian crisis.

Turkism versus Azerbaijanism as the two competing ideologies have left their mark on this process. Language has been used as a political tool for pr...

Constructing the homeland: Kazakhstan's discourse and policies surrounding its ethnic return-migration policy Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık (Informa UK Limited, 2012-3) A new political development that emerged after the disintegration of the Soviet Union was the adoption of ‘homeland stances’ by the newly independent states. Through the construction of the homeland image, the states of the region claimed responsibility not only for their own citizens, but also for a diaspora community of co-ethnics. Kazakhstan became one of these states and its leadership portrayed Kazakhstan as the homeland of the Kazakh diaspora. Furthermore, Kazakhstan's leadership developed far more ac...
