The Fourth Political Theory (Russian: Четвертая политическая теория, Chetvertaya Politicheskaya Teoriya) is a book by the Russian political scientist and theorist Aleksandr Dugin, published in 2009. In the book, Dugin claims to construct an entirely new political ideology, the fourth political theory, which integrates and supersedes the three past "theories" of liberal democracy, Marxism, and fascism.[1] The book has been cited as an inspiration for Russian policy in events such as the War in Donbass.[2] It has additionally been a source of inspiration for various political movements seeking to transcend pre-existing political dichotomies more generally. These include the American anti-imperialist, ethnopluralist organisation New Resistance [3] and French left-nationalist organisation Égalité et Réconciliation, whose founder Alain Soral authored the foreword to Dugin's book.
