  • Chapter I Ethnic Conflicts in the Caucasus 1988-1994 Alexei Zverev
    Chapter I Ethnic Conflicts in the Caucasus 1988-1994 Alexei Zverev Introduction Since 1988, Transcaucasia and parts of the North Caucasus have been the scene of turmoil. There have been numerous latent and overt claims and counterclaims concerning national statehood, administrative status, ethnic identity and borders. Never before, since the turbulent period of 1918-21 which followed the fall of the Russian empire, have conflicts raged with such deadly animosity. Old ethnic wounds have reopened, leading in some cases to sustained warfare, in others to ethnic strife punctuated by intermittent clashes. Geopolitical changes in the region have been one of the main underlying causes of ethnic conflicts. Just as in 1918-21, when the Caucasian conflicts followed the demise of the Russian empire, these have come on the heels of the weakening and then break-up of the USSR. Geopolitics is a function of the vital interests of states and societies. Thus the Warsaw Pact served the purpose of preserving the social system and securing the socio-economic development of the coalition, by repelling the perceived threat from the West. With the defeat of the Soviet Union in the Cold War, these interests changed abruptly, and a reorientation of the Eastern bloc's ruling elites to Western-type free-market economies ensued. The weakening of communist control from the Centre put an end to common ideological interests shared between the different national elites. These persuaded public opinion in their countries that a transition to a free-market economy, personal freedom and Western aid could better be ensured by economic and political sovereignty.

  • Section Meetings Program
    XVII ON ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT APRIL 19- 22 / 2016 / MOSCOW SECTION MEETINGS PROGRAM Moscow, 2016 Dear Colleagues! On 19–22 April 2016, the XVII April International Academic Con- ference on Economic and Social Development will take place in Moscow, being held by the National Research University Higher School of Economics with support of the World Bank. This year, we decided to change slightly our traditional format of the large plenary sessions, having transformed them into the hour- and-a-half ones on relevant issues, featuring experts, as well as the public authority, business and civil society representatives. There will be discussions on a variety of themes such as macroeconomics, fi- nancial markets, budget, social policy, health protection, migration, education, technological challenges and innovations, business and law, values and social structural changes, agriculture, etc. As for the sectional program of the Conference, it will be diversi- fied as usual. By the time being, the conference program has 46 sections, in identifying which almost all Latin alphabetic letters are used. Among the honorary guests of the Conference are Professors: Gerard Roland, University of Cali- fornia, Berkeley, Timur Kuran, Duke University, Daniel Treisman, University of California, Peter Strohschneider, President/German Research Foundation, Ronald Inglehart, University of Michi- gan, Richard Murnane, Harvard University, and many others. To hold a special seminar jointly with the European Association for Comparative Economic Studies (EACES) is going to become a tradition. This time its topic is “Russian Businesses in Comparative Prospect.” This year, two PhD seminars on Finance and Management are planned within a frame- work of the Master program of the Conference.

  • The Russian Chronologies July - September 2009 Dr Mark a Smith
    Research & Assessment Branch The Russian Chronologies July - September 2009 Dr Mark A Smith 09/13 RUSSIAN DOMESTIC CHRONOLOGY JULY 2009 – SEPTEMBER 2009 1 July 2009 The head of the commission for the Caucasus and first deputy speaker of the Federation Council, Aleksandr Torshin, criticises the assessment of the situation in the North Caucasus made by the human rights organization Amnesty International. 1 July 2009 President Dmitry Medvedev speaks at a state reception for graduates of military educational institutions in the Kremlin. He discusses military reform. 1 July 2009 Deputy Prime Minister Sergey Ivanov discusses with Vladimir Putin the development of seaport construction. Ivanov states: In 1998-99, of the total volume of import and export operations, 75 per cent of our cargoes were shipped through foreign ports, mostly Ukrainian and Baltic ones, and only 25 per cent through Russian ports. Now the proportion is as follows: 87 per cent of all cargoes are already shipped and processed through Russian ports, and only 13 per cent through foreign ports. I think that's fairly good dynamics, and in the foreseeable future we will completely get rid of dependence on foreign ports. This is very important from the economic point of view, and of course additional jobs. 1 July 2009 The head of the Rosnano state corporation Anatoly Chubays addresses the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs innovation policy committee. He discusses the need to develop an innovative economy in the Russian Federation. 1 July 2009 Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev says that alcohol abuse or poisoning causes each fifth death in Russia.
