Conflict, Crime, and the State in Postcommunist Eurasia
Conflict, Crime, and the State in Postcommunist Eurasia examines the emergence and evolution of a crime-conflict nexus and the relationship between ideologically motivated insurgents and profit-motivated criminal organizations in the region
The Caucasus in Limbo
The fallout of Russia's invasion of Georgia has yet to be seriously addressed; Armenia and Azerbaijan are edging toward a new war; and the situation in the North Caucasus is going from bad to worse
War in Georgia, Jitters All Around
Moscow's ambitions... directly undermine the entire European project of peace, freedom, and prosperity
Narcotics and Armed Conflict: Interaction and Implications
The link between armed conflict and the production and trafficking of illicit drugs has been much noted in the popular literature, and recent research tentatively indicates a link between lootable resources, including narcotics, and conflict duration. Yet the specific dynamics of the linkage between narcotics and conflict remain poorly understood. Evolving theory on the link between organized crime and terrorism enhances and supplements the debat…
The Eurasian Drug Trade: A Challenge to Regional Security
The security of Eurasia can no longer be understood in separation from the drug trade. Given the importance of the region to the United States, the adverse effect of the drug trade is also bound to affect U.S. interests in Central Asia
Narcotics, Radicalism, and Armed Conflict in Central Asia: The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan
While the academic debate on security has broadened in recent years, it has failed to cohesively include transnational organized crime and drug trafficking as a security issue. However, especially in weak states in developing and postcommunist regions, these phenomena are having an increasingly negative effect on security in the military, political, economic, and societal sense. Security issues in Central Asia are a prominentexample of the links …
The Interaction of Narcotics and Conflict
The link between armed conflict and the production and trafficking of illicit drugs has been frequently noted in the popular literature. Recent academic research on the matter has taken place mainly within the framework of studies of the role of natural resources in civil wars. These have tended to lump drugs together with other 'lootable' resources such as diamonds. The results have been mixed, with the main contribution so far being to show tha…
The United States and central Asia: In the Steppes to stay
11 September 2001 elevated the importance of the South Caucasus and Central Asia in US global strategy. The Central Asian republics proved crucial bases for military and intelligence operations. The South Caucasus, in turn, provided the only realistic air corridor for the deployment of Europe‐based US forces to Afghan territory. As its Central Asian footprint grows, Washington must consider the interests of key Eurasian powers and demonstrate a s…

The Critical but Perilous Caucasus
America in Eurasia: One Year After
American engagement with the countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia needs to be clear and predictable. The United States has the potential to play an important stabilizing role in the region, but as long as uncertainty surrounds its commitment, America's role may instead be destabilizing if other powers try to test its determination to remain engaged
Central Asia: More than Islamic extremists
Many have viewed Central Asia as a region beset by an Islamic tide. U.S. policy that lacks understanding of the dynamics in Central Asia may exacerbate an already fragile situation and allow the Western‐prophesied “Islamic tide” to swallow the region
Autonomy as a Source of Conflict: Caucasian Conflicts in Theoretical Perspective
The granting of autonomous status to minority populations has gained support among academics and practitioners alike as a way to solve, manage, and even preempt ethnic conflict. In spite of the enthusiasm for ethnofederalism, however, the provision of autonomy to minorities may actually increase rather than decrease the likelihood of conflict. Under certain political conditions, autonomy promotes the separate identity of the minority and increase…
The Kurdish question in Turkish politics
Democratization Falters in Azerbaijan
The November 2000 parliamentary elections, expected to be a step forward for democracy, instead turned into a major setback, casting doubt on the countryÕs future stability

Turkey: Return to stability
Since the mid-1990s, Turkish domestic politics have all too often been plagued by a chaotic atmosphere. The most direct origin of this is to be found in the December 1995 parliamentary elections, which did not lead to any obvious governing coalition; quite to the contrary, a number of alternatives were possible, of which the majority were eventually attempted. As is by now well known, the largest party in the parliament became the pro-Islamist We…
Religion as a factor in Caucasian conflicts
The many conflicts that have raged in the Caucasus since the end of the 1980s have often been depicted in the media and academia as basically religious in character. The religious differences between parties to conflicts are emphasized and often exaggerated. In particular, the Caucasus has been taken as an example of the ‘clash of civilizations’ supposedly under way. This article seeks to challenge this perception of the Caucasian conflicts, argu…

Turkey and the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh: A delicate balance
With the break-up of the Soviet Union in late 1991, Azerbaijan and Armenia both became independent, and Moscow's responsibility to manage and contain the conflict over Nagorno Karabakh suddenly disappeared. Within a few months, the conflict flared up into a full-size war, even involving Armenian regular troops and whole detachments of the former Soviet military on the side of the Karabakh Armenians.' Consequently Azerbaijan, within less than two …
Conflicting identities in the Caucasus
The awakening of assumed primordial identities such as tribe, ethnicity or religion has been a major source of conflict in the post‐Second World War era. The very fact that this can be termed an awakening, however, implies that these identities are neither static nor innate. They are very much tied to social and political circumstances; in particular, they are mobilized and shaped by political processes. This ethnic mobilization usually takes pla…
