The field of international relations has recently witnessed a tremendous growth of interest in the theme of identity and its formation, construction, and deconstruction. In Uses of the Other, Iver B. Neumann demonstrates how thinking about identity in terms of the self and other may prove highly useful in the study of world politics.Neumann begins by tracing the four different paths along which this thinking has developed during this century ethnographic, psychological, Continental philosophical, and 'Eastern excursion' and he shows how these blended at the margins of the discipline of international relations at the end of the 1980s. There follow several incisive readings of European identity formations on the allEuropean, regional, and national levels.The theme that draws these readings together is how 'the East' is used as a sign of otherness at all three levels. Whereas previous studies framed this process as part of colonial and postcolonial developments, this book suggests that 'Easternness' is also present as a marker in contemporary discourses about Russia, Turkey, Central Europe, and Bashkortostan, among others.
