Southbound Russia
This article traces the trajectories of Russia’s projection of its external power in its neighbourhood through the analysis of its bordering and de-bordering practices. It looks specifically at what happened in Abkhazia between 1993 and 2013, focusing on its role in managing the international border along the Psou River and on its impact on the Georgian-Abkhaz ceasefire line along the Inguri River. It argues that, while the appreciation of border…
Muslims in Putin's Russia
Muslims in Putin's Russia is a thorough, well-written account of an extremely multifaceted community in a composite country. The book opens a door on the often forgotten complexity that characterizes both Russia and Islam. Not only does it contribute to our understanding of the importance of Muslims in today's Russia, but it also highlights Russia's nature and composition through an analysis of the country's integration and rejection of one of it…
Trajectories of illegality and informality in conflict protraction
This article explores how the protraction of conflict shapes the management of economic activities and, more specifically, the illegality/informality divide. Its main argument is that, in contexts of conflict protraction, informal activities are managed and criminalized by a range of actors in function of their capacity and their strategies to project their authority and sovereignty. It identifies an “informality/illegality divide” that runs larg…
Securing disenfranchisement through violence and isolation
This article explores the functions of the high levels of violence, insecurity and isolation that have characterised the Gali district of Abkhazia since the end of the 1992–1993 Abkhaz War. It traces their trajectories in a 20-year timeframe, explaining the demographic and economic peculiarities of the case. It argues that violence and isolation were used to deepen the economic, social and political disenfranchisement of the Georgian/Mingrelian p…
The political economy of a de facto state
Between 1993 and 2008, the economy of Abkhazia was subjected to a multiplicity of internal and external influences. According to the authorities of the de facto state, its stunted growth was a consequence of what they branded as the ‘Georgian embargo’. However, not only was Russia as strong an influencing actor, but the picture is also skewed if local stakeholders are not taken into consideration. Far from being passive recipients or targets of e…

Some of the strong-points of War Veterans in Postwar Situations, edited by Nathalie Duclos, are clearly delineated from the beginning. Based on a series of case studies spanning through geography a
