This review article addresses academic contributions on the topic of Pan-Slavism published in the 2000–2020 period by reviewing the scholarly literature based on two categories: publications discussing traditional/historical forms of Pan-Slavism, and those focusing on the contemporary forms of Pan-Slavism. Further, the article introduces considerations on the need to study contemporary Pan-Slavism and its manifestations in a more coherent manner and from several vantage points that, to date, have been largely unaddressed in the scholarship at hand. The article not only fills the research gap in this regard but additionally points toward research challenges concerning contemporary Pan-Slavism that should be addressed in the future.
In this article, we examine the literature on the topic of Pan-Slavism that has been published in the last 20 years. We do so by paying particular attention to discussions on contemporary perspectives and manifestations of Pan-Slavism that in our view have been largely missing from academic research. We begin the article by introducing a theoretical conceptualization of Pan-Slavism in general, preparing the ground for our inspection of the academic output in the said period. We then continue by presenting our own contribution to the conceptualization and the current state of the field on Pan-Slavism, suggesting venues that future research may take towards broadening the field that has been and remains narrow. We conclude the article by summarizing the key points made therein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
