Managing Conflict in the Former Soviet Union: Russian and American Perspectives

574 Seiten, Taschenbuch, ab 18 Jahre

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, numerous ethnic and internal conflicts have emerged within and between the former Soviet republics. Vicious fighting has flared up in Georgia, Chechnya, Tajikistan, Moldova, and other areas, and tensions remain high in many of the newly independent states. Their causes are often misunderstood, and U.S. policymakers have paid little attention to their resolution. This collaborative effort by Russian and American scholars documents Russian policy toward ethno-national conflict in its near-abroad, American policy toward these conflicts, and the attempts of international organizations to prevent and resolve them. Case studies consider the causes, dynamics, and prospects of conflicts in Latvia, the Crimea, the Trans-dneistr region of Moldova, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and the region of North Ossetia and Ingushetia.ContributorsNadia Alexandrova-Arbatova, Alexei Arbatov, Vladimir Barsamov, Brian J.
