Globalisation and Identity: Perspectives from India and Russia

Globalisation is undoubtedly the dominant narrative of our times. Its effects positive and negative continue to influence and shape our lives in many obvious as well as subtle ways. The outcome of a conference held by the Observer Research Foundation New Delhi and the Experimental Creative Center Moscow Globalisation and Identity provides insights into the interplay between globalisation and identity from Indian and Russian perspectives. The authors use theoretical and empirical methods to examine several interconnected diverse issues. Among the issues examined are local national and international narratives on globalisation and identity citizenship pluralism and separatism and economic and religious issues vis-a-vis globalisation. The volume should be a compelling read for policymakers scholars and all those interested in learning about globalisation and its myriad effects on our lives.
