Citizenship, identity and foreign policy: the contradictions and consequences of Russia's passport distribution in the separatist regions of Georgia / Littlefield, Scott   Journal Article
Littlefield, Scott Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This article examines the role of Russian passports and citizenship in facilitating Abkhazian and South Ossetian separatism in Georgia. It questions Russian leaders' justification of the country's intervention in the August 2008 South Ossetian crisis on the basis of defending co-nationals' human rights, noting the tenuous circumstances under which citizenship was granted and Russian policymakers' general disregard for human rights among non-ethnic russkii groups both domestically and abroad. The rationale for Russian state actions is placed within the desire for geostrategic gain in the former Soviet Union and the restoration of civic national pride.

Oil prices: an action strategy is needed / Baklanov, Andrei   Article
Baklanov, Andrei Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Russian policymakers and economists are concerned about the possible dire consequences of the sharp drop in oil prices. I would like to share some little-known facts showing that the price component has always been the weakest point in Russian energy policy, and propose some measures that may help overcome this trend, which is dangerous to Russian interests.
