According to Alexander Dugin, the twenty-first century will be defined by the conflict between Eurasianists and Atlanticists. The Eurasianists defend the need for every people and culture on Earth to be allowed to develop in its own way, free of interference, and in accordance with their own particular values. Eurasianists thus stand for tradition and for the blossoming variety of cultures, and a world in which no single power holds sway over all the others. Opposing them are the Atlanticists. They stand for ultra-liberalism in both economics and values, stopping at nothing to expand their influence to every corner of the globe, unleashing war, terror, and injustice on all who oppose them, both at home and abroad. This camp is represented by the United States and its allies around the world, who seek to maintain America's unipolar hegemony over the Earth. The Eurasianists believe that only a strong Russia, working together with all those who oppose Atlanticism worldwide, can stop them and bring about the multipolar world they desire. This book introduces their basic ideas. Eurasianism is on the rise in Russia today, and the Kremlin's geopolitical policies are largely based on its tenets, as has been acknowledged by Vladimir Putin himself. It is reshaping Russia's geopolitics, and its influence is already changing the course of world history. "Essentially, the unipolar world is simply a means of justifying dictatorship over people and countries. [...] I think that we need a new version of interdependence. [...] This is particularly relevant given the strengthening and growth of certain regions on the planet, which process objectively requires institutionalization of such new poles, creating powerful regional organizations and developing rules for their interaction. Cooperation between these centers would seriously add to the stability of global security, policy and economy." - Vladimir Putin, Valdai Club, October 24, 2014 Alexander Dugin (b. 1962) is one of the best-known writers and political commentators in post-Soviet Russia, having been active in politics there since the 1980s. In addition to the many books he has authored on political, philosophical, and spiritual topics, he is the leader of the International Eurasia Movement, which he founded. For more than a decade, he has been an advisor to Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin on geopolitical matters. Arktos published his book, The Fourth Political Theory, in 2012, and Putin vs Putin: Vladimir Putin Viewed from the Right in 2014.

Creating new political space

ByJacobon July 6, 2016

Format: Paperback

In this work Alexander Dugin analyzes the development of earlier Eurasianism to its current manifestations on the political scene. According to Dugin, “Eurasianism is a type of structuralism with the accent placed on multiplicity and synchronicity of structures” (Dugin loc. Cited 68). This means there are a plurality of human societies, each with its own “mode of growing” that must be respected.

Dugin sees Russia’s role as defending the possibility of each civilization’s unique flourishing. This means Russia creates the political space as opposed to the Atlanticist desire to impose globalization. In terms of method Dugin largely applies Heidegger’s philosophy, though not universally. He draws upon suggestions made by both “Left” (dialectical) and “Right” (traditionalist) thinkers as they both oppose neo-liberalist/globalism (loc. 434).

How would a Neo-Eurasianist Policy Look?

Dugin isn’t blind to the advances that globalism has made. Whether we like it or not, it happened and we can’t go back to 19th century nation-states. Please note this: We are not nationalists in the strict sense of the word. Therefore, he suggests “several global zones (poles). The Eurasian Idea is an alternative or multipolar version of globalization” (loc. 641). Similar to his claims in The Last War of the World-Island, we no longer see a battle between East/West or North/South, but of Center/Periphery with the Atlanticist Civilization (New York/London/Brussels) at the center.

And within these zones there are poles and “Great Spaces,” or democratic empires that are organically constituted. Some examples

(I) Iran-Syria-Armenia
(2) Germano-Nordic/Frankish
(3) Anglo-American
(4) Mediterranean Europe
(5) Eurasian Europe
Etc. (see this article for more discussion on Meridian Zones;[...]

Dugin argues for regions to have autonomy, not sovereignty and boundaries, not borders. Boundaries arise from an organic wholeness. Borders are used to divide, boundaries to bind. For countries with large amounts of land, major cities should be depopulated and there should be a network of townships. Townships are ecological settlements separated from the cities by clean forests (page 85).

Dugin ends his philosophical analysis with remarkable insights into social atomism. Lockean/empiricism/libertarianism is false because it rests upon a false physics, a false ontology. Atomism is false because we now about sub-atomic structures. Empirical social philosophies are false because within the individual are underlying currents that resist reductionism.

This book isn't perfect, though. There was a coherent argument throughout, but some chapters seemed like blog articles tacked on.

ByRichard Rudgleyon March 19, 2015

Format: Paperback

In this book Alexander Dugin and his editor John Morgan provide a very lucid outline of both the historical roots and more recent currents that have led to neo-Eurasianism (Eurasianism and its main proponents, National Bolshevism etc). It also announces to the wider world the recent emergence of the International Eurasian Movement as an ideological and political force. This movement with its call for a multipolar world (vs a unipolar world dominated by America and liberal ideology) can resonate with readers from all continents. Its geopolitical ramifications concern the whole world and not just the vast Eurasian homeland.
Eurasian Mission is a rarity – a book that authentically challenges the political status quo with stimulating and original ideas. This alone demands that it should be widely read. One does not even have to accept its fundamental premises or its onslaught on the prevailing liberal oligarchy to benefit from reading it. It is crucial that a healthy intellectual arena of discourse be not only maintained but continually stimulated by the dissemination of alternative notions, with views that may go deeply against the prevailing norms. Our minds need to be honed not lulled to sleep by a narrow liberal world-view which oligarchic situation Chomsky has pointed out encourages seemingly vigorous debate but only within the confines of a conventional and acceptable sphere. Dugin’s book is way outside of prevailing norms and the dull and narrow confines of conventional sham debate and as such is exactly the sort of book questing minds should be reading. Eurasian Mission is as significant in its own way as Dugin’s The Fourth Political Theory another fascinating and ground-breaking book that has been translated into English and has also been published by Arktos.

A good introduction to the topic. Sadly, the kindle version is poorly worked.

Bydanon December 11, 2016

Format: Paperback

I just bought the kindle version. We do not know who translated it from Russian, by the way. The edition is poorly crafted. It has many punctuation mistakes. (The first page says "Eurasian Misson").

The thought of Dugin is repetitive. His basic thesis is simple: "every civilization has its own right to exist". This argument is directed against the imposition of a single global ideology: globalist liberalism.

This book is a must for everyone who wants to understand Russia's actual role in the international political arena.
