volume of Hopf's manuscript relates the discourses of Soviet national identity at home as a socialist
country ravaged by a recent war at the forefront of the world revolutionary movement to its foreign

author cum professor. It was revealed that they've collaborated to publish an upcoming book,
'conceptualizing International Practices,' which involves directions for the practice turn witnessed within
