ABSTRACT

The Georgian crisis in the European theatre took the entire world by surprise and generated anxiety and concern in the international community with respect to its future implications for peace and stability in Europe in particular, and the world in general. While the causes of the conflict are very intricate, the fact remains that it is basically an internal ethnic conflict with few of its distinct features. The internal dimension of the conflict soon attained an international one, and eventually the conflict turned from an intrastate to-an inter-state one. The Russian involvement in the crisis evoked certain questions with respect to the nature of the future international system, security of the West sponsored mechanisms in the Caucasus, the future of oil politics in the region and the like. The paper purports to study all such elements from a neutral standpoint.
