Book review - When Empire Meets Nationalism. Power Politics in the US and Russia By Didier Chaudet, Florent Parmentier & Beno t Pelopidas

From the Iraq war in 2003 to the Russian-Georgian conflict in 2008, both neoconservative and neo-Eurasianist politicians have been held responsible for the recent power politics of Russia and the United States. After analyzing this issue in French in 2007 at the end of the presidential mandates of George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin, the English translation of the book2 allows Didier Chaudet, Florent Parmentier and Beno t Pelopidas’ work to reach a wider audience during the early days of Barack Obama’s and Dmitri Medvedev’s mandates.
