Eurasianism is a political and philosophical idea that people from different parts of Eurasia (the area between Europe, Asia and parts of North Africa) are similar in their culture, history and beliefs, and should work together to achieve a common goal. It supports the idea of uniting the people of Eurasia under one identity and culture. It can be seen as a modern version of pan-nationalism, in which people of different nations come together to form a single, unified identity and culture.
