State, Civilisation, Civilisation-State: Conceptual Foundations and Contemporary Developments
State, Civilisation, Civilisation-State: Conceptual Foundations and Contemporary Developments. Second Session of the Expert Dialogue in Partnership With Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University The concept of “civilisation-state” is increasingly being used in foreign policy discourse. The participants of the second session of the Valdai Discussion Club expert dialogue in partnership with Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University discussed if a dialogue between civilisations is possible, what competing concepts of civilisations are relevant, and what does constituting “a civilisational state” mean for Russia. Attention to civilisational issues is not just a political instrument for constructing identity or an intellectual fashion. It is about shaping the political identities of modern powers. What does this mean for international relations? Is a dialogue between civilisations possible? What competing concepts of civilisations are relevant? What does constituting “a civilisational state” mean for Russia?
