Prologue: An Ontologically Insecure "Russian Self"
Departing from my conceptual retranslation of ontological security, the core argument in this dissertation is that Russia's military interventions are symptomatic of a response to the ontological insecurity felt among the Russian custodians interpreting the Russo‒Western encounters in Kosovo and Ukraine as existential threats against Russian Self, but-paradoxically-encounters are not solely representing the breakdown of the existing sense of Russian Self, but also opportunities for Russian custodians to advance their respective visions for what constitutes a more meaningful and authentic Russian Self.
Further to the existing ontological security studies of Russian foreign policy (Hansen, 2009, 2016), this dissertation offers concrete in-depth examination of how Russian senses of ontological insecurity rendered military intervention to be a meaningful response in the Kosovo (1999) and Ukraine crises (2014).
Being a child of the end of the Cold War and the USA as unipolar superpower, Russia's intervention and annexation became sources of a personal sense of ontological insecurity about the authenticity of the victorious "Western Self."
The outcome of this heightened sense of ontological insecurity has been Russian military interventionism and the reconstruction of the Russian Self.
