    Research & Assessment Branch Caucasus Series North Caucasus: Negative Trends C W Blandy 09/12 1 North Caucasus: Negative Trends C W Blandy Key Findings • Shortfalls in financial subsidies to North Caucasus republics will intensify and widen the cycle of violence which will affect the South Caucasus. • A widened cycle of violence would be harmful to Western interests in Georgia and Azerbaijan. • Reduced scale of subsidies contrasts sharply with the vast sums being spent by Russia on 2014 Olympics and financial aid to South Ossetia and Abkhazia and will intensify discontent. • Need for radical political reform: continuation of forceful measures alone will not improve the situation. Need for republics to elect their own leaders. • Greater investment in education, technical training, job creation and health care are needed for the young and the population in general. • Effective intelligence is needed to stop the flow of illegal funds into the North Caucasus. • Operations against illegal bandit formations must be conducted within the law: punishment of offenders must be effected openly through the courts.

  • Social Integration / Disintegration in Post- Communist Societies
    Social integration / disintegration in post- communist societies Reintegrating communities in the North Caucasus – successes and challenges Achieving progress toward a long-term resolution to the crisis requires not just restoring damaged infrastructure and paying compensations, but also - working with peoples minds, bringing peacebuilding activities down from the conference tables into the field on the level of local communities and to the people directly affected by violent conflict. Peace dialogue is one of the key techniques for such a task. Large scale military conflicts in the North Caucasus: .Ossetian-Ingush conflict –nearly 12 years .Chechen crisis –will be 10 years soon Other cases of violence and terrorist acts are more and more affecting different North Caucasus regions –outside the borders of Chechnya. Protecting the Providing Ensuring long- conflict-affected security for the term recovery, population, population and reconciliation, responding to state, which is creating “peace of urgent the primary the minds” humanitarian responsibility through dialog: needs - addressed of the state jointly by the addressed by non- state & the state actors better international than by the state community Violent conflict is not always the result of intentional and thought through activities of specific actors. In intrastate conflicts the role of spontaneous and occasional factors becomes more important. In such a situation both outside actors and especially - local civil society institutions being mobile and capable of immediate intervention can play an important, and sometimes decisive, role. An initiative undertaken in the right place and at the right time may channel a conflict towards a nonviolent form. An ongoing peace dialogue process is a crucial element of success in such a situation.

    Overview of the Silk Road heritage in the Russian regions and potential for product development Based on the study “Russian cultural and historic heritage in the framework of the project "Great Silk Road", prepared under supervision of Vladimir Grusman, PhD, Director of the Russian Museum of Ethnography Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation Russian Museum of Ethnography The overview and maps are prepared by the UNWTO Silk Road Program 1 Introduction Acclaimed as the “greatest route in the history of mankind’, the ancient Silk Road formed the first bridge between the East and the West and was an important vehicle for trade between the ancient empires of China, Central and Western Asia, the Indian sub-continent and Rome. As routes of integration, exchange and dialogue, the Silk Road contributed greatly to the common prosperity and development of humankind for almost two millennia. With its richly diverse cultural heritage and its wealth of natural tourism attractions spanning across thousands of kilometers of ancient routes, the Silk Road today offers visitors the opportunity to experience a unique network of destinations linked by a shared history. Russian regions, with their diverse Silk Road heritage, natural and cultural attractions, gastronomy and intangible traditions, are in a great position to leverage from this momentum. By developing innovative tourism products they can directly appeal to the modern traveller in search for authentic experiences. This overview assesses the Silk Road heritage in the region of the European part of Russia and the potential of developing Silk Road tourism itineraries and products in the country and beyond.
