The book addresses Estonian, Ukrainian and Georgian identities that develop against the background of the neo-imperial policies of Russia and EU normative power projection. With the decreasing explanatory value of the "post-Soviet" frame, the authors propose the concept of borderlands for bringing together a group of countries located at the intersection of different cultural, religious, ethnic and civilizational flows and systems. It is argued that for borderlands nation-building envisages strategies of meaning-making aimed at self-identification, consolidation and integration, along with strategies of adjusting to practical tools and mechanisms of governance generated and shared by Europe.
