Title Food Security and Nationalism: Case of Import Substitution Project in The Russian Federation
Summary Since 2006 Russia has been banning food goods from different post-soviet countries, such as Georgian wines and Ukrainian sweets. In 2014 Russian government banned the food import from the European Union, the USA, and Canada and made a decision to launch the Import Substitution project which aims to support domestic producers. In contrast, the international Slow-Food movement promotes protection of traditional gastronomy and sustainable agriculture all over the world. This thesis attempts to investigate how food politics can influenced on the development of national identity and how it relates to the idea of anti-globalism. To address the research goal the thesis explores the development of Russian international trade politics, the dynamics of “consumer culture” in Russian society and the correlation between international Slow-Food movement and the Import Substitution Project in the Russian Federation.
