Belarus can hardly be described as a country which attracts much attention from international scholars and analysts. Despite this fact all Belarus-related studies and analyses may roughly be described as those produced within a so-called “triadic nexus” that consists of Belarusian authors, foreign authors who focus on Belarus, and the authors who come from Belarusians living abroad, either from indigenous minorities in the neighboring countries or from Belarusian diasporas of migrant origin. The “triadic nexus” framework is used by a well known American scholar Rogers Brubaker who focuses on analyzing the relations among the kin-state, a minority and a nationalizing state (the one that accommodates the minority). It aims to show the role and influence that a kinstate can impose on the minority-majority relationship. One can apply the same idea of “triadic nexus” framework to the current situation in Belarusian studies. However, it would be similar to the scheme produced by Brubaker only in its name and its modality in order to consider and measure the importance of each participating actor as well as to reveal the challenges and opportunities that Belarusian studies and analyses see worldwide.
