    Konsekvenser Och Lärdomar Av Det Rysk-Georgiska Kriget I Augusti 2008

    Det kaukasiska lackmustestet: Konsekvenser och lärdomar av det rysk-georgiska kriget i augusti 2008 Det kaukasiska lackmustestet Det kaukasiska lackmustestet Den ryska politiken mot Kaukasien, speciellt Georgien, har under lång tid utgjort en prisma i vilken karaktären på den ryska utrikes- och säkerhetspolitiken kunnat beskådas. Detta gäller såväl historiskt som ROBErt L. LArssoN (RED.), ALEXANDER AtARODI, EVA HAGstrÖM FRISELL, JAkoB HEDENskoG, det krig som varade 7-12 augusti 2008, med Georgien på ena sidan och med Ryssland och den georgiska JERKER HEllstrÖM, JAN KNOPH, VILHELM KONNANDER, JAN LEIJONHIELM, DAVID LINDAHL, separatistregionen Sydossetien på den andra. FREDRIK LINDVALL, JOHANNES MALMINEN, INGMAR OLDBERG, FREDRIK WEstERLUND, MIKE WINNErstiG Rysk politik mot Kaukasien är dock inte bara ett lackmustest för vilken väg Ryssland går. För Ryssland är denna och en rad andra incidenter även lackmustest för vad man kan göra utan att omvärlden reagerar på ett sätt som hindrar upprepat agerande. Kriget aktualiserade därför en rad frågor som i flera fall är av betydligt större dignitet än såväl Sydossetiens framtid som den rysk-georgiska konflikten. Syftet med föreliggande studie är därför att analysera centrala aspekter av kriget med tonvikt på ryskt agerande. Målet är att dra att antal tentativa slutsatser om vilka konsekvenser kriget får för regionen och för omvärlden, samt vilka lärdomar man kan förmodas dra på ömse sidor i konflikten. Ett resultat är att den ryska hållningen utgör en direkt utmaning mot den rådande världsordningen i termer av normsystem, samarbetsformer och värdegrunder. Den ryska inmarschen i Georgien var på många sätt en förlängning på den politik man redan fört och där väpnade insatser mot Georgien frekvent förekom.

    SEMAPHORESEMAPHORE Russian Magazine for Railway Transport Enthusiasts Published since November 2000 June 2004 Issue 6 RESUND LINK RAILWAYS AT MARIUPOL ZEBLYAKI AND YAKSHANGA APSHERONSK–GUAMKA–MEZMAY AMUR RAILWAY HISTORY POLISH NOTEBOOKS OF FLOATING BRIDGES. THE HEREH TALES FROM THE EDITOR Dear readers! You are holding the next, sixth issue of “The Semaphore”. Three and a half years ago, overwhelmed by enthusiasm and belief in our own forces, we, the Editors, did not even think, what it a heavy burden it was to publish a periodical. At first, the periodicity of “The Semaphore” has been established once a month, then once in half- year. However, insuperable circumstances would overturn all planned terms again and again, and finally the magazine began to appear about once a year, as if it were an almanac. It took us another ten long months to prepare the sixth issue. Nevertheless, our magazine is alive, to what, in particular, testifies the statistics of visits to the Web site of magazine (up to 400 visits a month). Our correspondents, both “old” and new, from time to time send materials “for the next issue of the magazine”. We understand that their expectations cannot and should not be deceived, and we proceed with the publishing. “The Semaphore” is open! Moreover, this is our first attempt to publish an English-language version of the magazine. While the translation may be not perfect, and some materials (like the crossword) cannot be possibly translated into other languages, we still believe that this undertaking is important, and urge native English speakers to help us with translation.
  • The War on Georgia and Russia´S Foreign Policy

    The War on Georgia and Russia´S Foreign Policy

    Research Paper 5/2008 The Sleep of Reason: The war on Georgia & Russia’s foreign policy – December 2008 The Sleep of Reason: The war on Georgia & Russia’s foreign policy – Yury E. Fedorov This paper is the independent analysis of the author. Views expressed in the report are not necessarily those of Association for International Affairs. Research Paper 5/2008 The Sleep of Reason: The war on Georgia & Russia’s foreign policy – December 2008 Introduction The attack on Georgia known as “the Five-day war” sparked anew debates about Russia and its policy. Many believe that it confirmed the gloomiest analysis of Russia’s domestic developments and international behaviour; interred the hopes that under Medvedev the country would return to normality; proved that aggressiveness results from systemic characteristics of Russia today. Supporters of such views often see Russian policy as a product of “the sleep of reason” that, as the Spanish by-word says, “produces monsters”. The sleep of political reason in Russia is seen in a yearning of ruling elites for a “historical revanche”, a superpower status and deciding vote in security related issues in Europe and Eurasia; in dreaming of restoration of the Empire; in a strong conviction that use of military force is practical for and effective in advancing Russia’s interests abroad; and in the upsurge of jingoist enthusiasm caused by the war on Georgia1. Taken together it signals that Russian society is gravely poisoned by morbid mental syndromes. The decision to station Iskander missiles in the enclave of Kaliningrad in response to the US plans for ABM system in Poland and the Czech Republic announced by President Dmitry Medvedev in November 2008 confirmed this construing of Russia’s policy.
