Defending the Border
Defending the Border: Identity, Religion, and Modernity in the Republic of Georgia. By Mathijs Pelkmans. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2006. 240p. $59.95 cloth, $22.95 paper. Although much has been said for modern principles of self-determination, there is often comfort and security in established, even externally imposed, sources of self-identity. If the Soviet Union was a prison of nations, then it was—whether imperfectly, perniciously,…

Following its conquest of the North Caucasus, Russian hegemony took the form of a military administration that combined autocracy with the traditional local influences of Islam and adat, that is, l
Recent Russian Federal Elections in Dagestan
THE RUSSIAN STATE DUMA ELECTION, on 7 December 2003, and the presidential election, on 14 March 2004, both showed particularly high levels of voter turnout and support in North Caucasian republics for the party of power. How should these results be interpreted? Dagestan's election results provide an interesting study, and suggest possible consequences of President Putin's proposed electoral changes. The Russian State Duma consists of 450 represen…
Russian Hegemony in Dagestan
Two experts on Dagestani politics examine the evolution of Dagestan's political system from the era of its first post-Soviet constitution in 1994 to the present. The complicated role played by ethnicity in a political system designed to maintain balance in an ethnically heterogeneous society is considered in light of the changes in the relationship between the federal center and Dagestan over the past 10 years. Paying particular attention to chan…

Irony and Political Islam
Russians say that there is a defeat in every victory and a victory in every defeat. On 16 September 1999, in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, combined forces of civilian militias, police, and Russian federal troops defeated insurgent militants from Chechnya who intended to establish an independent Islamic state in the Northeast Caucasus which would have united Chechnya with Dagestan and Ingushetia. On that same date the Dagestan People's Assembl…
Dagestani Perspectives on Russia and Chechnya
Specialists from three countries report the results of survey research conducted during March-April 2000 in Dagestan. Questions addressed include identification with Russia and with Dagestan, confidence in local, regional, and federal institutions, perceptions of changes in the economy, politics, and cultural life, and perceived threats from external sources. Analysis also specifies attitudinal differences among ethnic groups and among other demo…
Ethnic Parity and Democratic Pluralism in Dagestan
What factors permit some ethnically and religiously segmented societies to avoid large-scale violence while others sink into protracted conflict? The collapse of the Soviet Union has given rise to a variety of plural societies, the principal common feature of which has been their rapid, and seemingly irrevocable, descent along a trajectory of ethnic conflict, political separatism, and socio-economic disintegration. Nowhere has this collapse had m…

Political Stability in Dagestan
Unlike in Chechnya and other neighboring territories in the Caucasus, in Dagestan the traditional social system has facilitated integration into the Russian federal structure
The Islamic factor in Dagestan
Conflict and Catharsis
There was a fateful inevitability to the military actions in Dagestan that began on 2 August 1999 and concluded on 16 September. During the 2 years preceding, tensions within Dagestan's Islamic community had been building between fundamentalist Wahhabis and traditionalists. These tensions were exacerbated by Dagestan's sharp economic decline. Unemployment, which was running at 80% by August, contributed to growing dissatisfaction, especially in D…

After Chechnya
Population displacements in the aftermath of the Chechen conflict may undermine a complex political balance existing among the extraordinarily numerous ethnic groups in the neighbouring Republic of Dagestan. The destabilisation of Dagestan threatens to bring ethnic conflict to virtually the only state in the Caucasus to have avoided it thus far. This article considers the basis of ethnic accommodation in Dagestan, the policies and migratory patte…
