Aleksandr Gelievich Dugin’s Neo-Eurasianism and Its Geopolitical Implications

Tạp chí Thông tin KHXH Tạp chí Thông tin KHXH — 2023-11-20

Professor Aleksandr Gelievich Dugin (Александр Гельевич Дугин) of Moscow State University Lomonosov is a political activist whose ideology has exerted considerable influence in Russia for about 30 years. While inheriting Russian anti-Western ideas dating back to the 19th century, his “Neo-Eurasianism” is further enhanced by the nostalgia for Russia’s past under the great tsars and part of the powerful Soviet Federation. Dugin’s basic thesis is that rather than economic factors, geographical ones are the core cause of Russian power now and then. He called on the Russians to carry out a mission to revive the past, oppose the West and NATO, exercise control over the surrounding peoples, and permanently dominate the center of Eurasia. While mostly promoted as a significant spiritual factor in Russia since 2008, Neo-Eurasianism is considered the one causing negative consequences for Russia, Europe and the world, especially since the breakout of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

In 2021, the US, the UK and Australia officially established a tripartite defense alliance called AUKUS, whose main goal is to strengthen their role in ensuring security in the Indo-Pacific. The Biden administration is addressing America’s commitment to the region by strengthening alliances through AUKUS and other multilateral initiative.
