The South Caucasus has traditionally been a playground of
contesting empires. This region, on the edge of Europe, is
associated in Western minds with ethnic conflict and geopolitical
struggles in August 2008. Yet, another war broke out in this
distant European periphery as Russia and Georgia clashed over the
secessionist territory of South Ossetia. The war had global
ramifications culminating in deepening tensions between Russia on
the one hand, and Europe and the USA on the other. Speculation on
the causes and consequences of the war focused on Great Power
rivalries and a new Great Game, on oil pipeline routes, and Russian
imperial aspirations. This book takes a different tack which
focuses on the domestic roots of the August 2008 war. Collectively
the authors in this volume present a new multidimensional context
for the war. They analyse historical relations between national
minorities in the region, look at the link between democratic
development, state-building, and war, and explore the role of
leadership and public opinion. Digging beneath often simplistic
geopolitical explanations, the authors give the national minorities
and Georgians themselves, the voice that is often forgotten by
Western analysts. This book was based on a special issue of Central
Asian Survey.
