Identity Politics and Polarisation
Identity politics and polarisation are fundamental drivers of social and political change in the 21st century. Our research lab examines the complex interplay between collective memory, digital narratives, and the legal frameworks that shape identity-driven friction across the Eurasian landscape.
IDENTITY, HISTORICAL MEMORY, AND POLITICAL POLARISATION IN EURASIA
This research explores why legal precision is fundamental to understanding the intersection of identity and polarisation in Eurasia. The following analysis highlights the critical role of historical narratives in shaping modern political landscapes and the resulting societal fractures.
Polarisation Dynamics
42% Narrative Divergence
