South Ossetia and Abkhazia had been de facto independent since the early 1990's. However, Russia?s granting of recognition on 26 August 2008 changed regional dynamics. The Caucasus is one of the most ethnically diverse areas on earth, and the conflicts examined here present their own complexities. This book sets the issues in their historical and political contexts and discusses potential future problems. This volume is distinguished from others devoted to the same themes by the extensive use the author (a Georgian specialist) makes of Georgian sources, inaccessible to most commentators. His translated citations thus cast a unique and revealing light on the interethnic relations that have fuelled these conflicts. 410 0$aEurasian studies library ;$vvol. 3. 606 $aEthnic conflict$zGeorgia 607 $aAbkhazia (Georgia)$xPolitics and government 607 $aAbkhazia (Georgia)$xRelations$zGeorgia (Republic) 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$xEthnic relations 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$xHistory$y1991- 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$xPolitics and government$y1991- 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$zRelations$zGeorgia$zAbkhazia 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$zRelations$zGeorgia$zSouth Ossetia 607 $aSouth Ossetia (Georgia)$xPolitics and government 607 $aSouth Ossetia (Georgia)$xRelations$zGeorgia (Republic) 615 0$aEthnic conflict 676 $a947.58086 700 $aHewitt$b George$0620927 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779767503321 996 $aDiscordant neighbours$93711286 997 $aUNINA
