Abstract:
The Chechen war has focused world attention on the politically fragile
and potentially explosive Caucasus region. Beset by domestic instability,
economic crises, failing states and widespread corruption, the entire
area has been in a very precarious state since the disintegration of the
Soviet Union.

Military ethics - A force for good, Mileham P, Willett L

Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 0 Times Cited:

Abstract:
Military ethics have become a central issue for policy-makers. The ethical
dimensions of military interventions have recently moved further into
the political spotlight with the conflicts in Kosovo and Chechnya. But
what are 'military ethics'? When, if at all, are ethnic cleansing or genocide
legitimate military options? Can external military intervention intensify
a crisis? Did the apparent success of Operation Allied Force in kosovo
encourage Russia to seek to re-establish total control of the Chechen
republic?

Abstract:
Three modalities of national self-consciousness of Chechen schoolchildren:
psychologically permanent self-consciousness capable for self-regulation
in marginal situation for organization of optimal behavior; stable self-consciousness
keeping the possibility for actualization of auto-stereotypes and national
(ethnic) attitudes in circumstances of monoethnic and another ethnic situations;
changing self-consciousness considered as the mechanism of adaptation
to the conditions of heteroethnic environment were considered from the
position of theory of psychological stability of personality. The study
of coping with ethnoconflict situations by Chechen schoolchildren living
in Grozny and Moscow have shown that schoolchildren living in Grozny react
on monoethnic conflict mainly with impunitive and intropunitive reactions
but Chechen schoolchildren living in Moscow, i.e. in heteroethnic situation,
react on the conflict, on the one hand, with extrapunitive reaction and,
on the other hand, with reactive form of mechanisms of social-psychological
defense of ethnic identity.

Ethnic conflicts in the former USSR: The use and misuse of typologies
and data
Tishkov V
JOURNAL OF PEACE RESEARCH, 36: (5) 571-591 SEP 1999
Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 56 Times Cited:

Abstract:
This article summarizes research on ethnic conflict in the Former Soviet
Union (FSU). Various appealing bur unsatisfactory typologies have been
proposed, focusing on the subjects of the conflict (actors, goals, motivations);
on the environment of the conflict (territory, language, socio-economy,
environment and resources; or on characteristics of the conflict scale,
length, form of fighting, losses, aftermath). Most conflict typologies
reflect better the thinking and political agenda of the typologists than
the actual social panorama. Conflict theories and data presentations contain
strong prescriptive elements and may even generate new conflict. For the
conflicts in the Former Soviet Union, existing typologies fail to grasp
several major factors, such as the strategies and behavior of individuals,
social and political disorder, power and status aspirations, elite manipulations,
and outside interventions. This article discusses data on human and material
losses in nine violent conflicts: Karabakh, Fergana, Osh, South Ossetia,
Transdniestria, Tajik, Abkhazia, Ingush-Ossetian, and Chechen. In conclusion,
a plea is made for writing 'between' theory and data, without sacrificing
sensitive and self-reflective narration in order to produce new insights
and new knowledge.

Abstract:
"From combat activities to civilian life" (by Dmitriy Pozhidaev)
discusses issues of the social adaptation and rehabilitation of Afghan
and Chechen war veterans. Data of surveys and author's personal observations
are used to confirm complicated fortunes of the veterans and some new
theories are applied to study socialization issues of an individual both
in combat conditions and in the civilian life. The findings aim to be
practically and institutionally applied for situations involving both
future and former servicemen.

Soldiers' mothers in quest of a place in Russian society
Dauce F
REVUE D ETUDES COMPARATIVES EST-OUEST, 28: (2) 121-& JUN 1997
Document type: Article
Language: French Cited References: 26 Times Cited: 0
Abstract:
Associations of soldiers' mothers formed at the end of the perestroika
in order to oppose the violence perpetrated in the army against young
recruits (dedovchtchina). Far from dying out due to a lack of activity,
these associations have grown in the Russia of Boris Yeltsin. The war
in Chechnya have given them a louder voice in Russian society. Soldiers'
mothers have mobilized to protect their sons from the arbitrariness of
the armed forces and state. Do they have a part in making a civil society
in Russia? That is their ambition. In direct contact with society, they
are developing a discourse intended for the state; they pose as an intermediary,
but this (inter)mediation is not possible. The lack of both common values
and channels for negotiations between the state and social movements hinders
the chances of a civil society emerging in Russia. Given the absence of
any rules, soldiers' mothers have been led to negotiate their sons' future
with Russian military authorities and Chechen guerrillas. The defense
of their interests, given the defective legal framework, leads them to
invent a new type of relation at the infrastate level between military
authorities and society's representatives.

An analytical model for conflict dynamics
Gass N
JOURNAL OF THE OPERATIONAL RESEARCH SOCIETY, 48: (10) 978-987 OCT 1997
Document type: Article
Language: English Cited References: 11 Times Cited: 0
Abstract:
A coherent dynamic conflict model is developed from basic principles.
The governing equations have a striking resemblance to the continuity
equation in fluid dynamics with an additional term for the response to
pressure by the opponent. The salient feature of the model is a moving
confrontation line which is an excellent indicator for the evolution of
conflict. The developed model also permits investigation of the necessary
minimum involvement of a third party actor such as an international organization
to establish a status quo between the actors. The model is demonstrated
on the Russin-Chechen conflict and the Bosnian war.

The Principle of Phonology-Free Syntax: Four apparent counterexamples
in French
Miller PH, Pullum GK, Zwicky AM
JOURNAL OF LINGUISTICS, 33: (1) 67-90 MAR 1997
Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 32 Times Cited:

Abstract:
The Principle of Phonology-Free Syntax (PPFS) is a proposed universal
principle of grammar that prohibits reference to phonological information
in syntactic rules or constraints. Although many linguists have noted
phenomena that appear to them to be in conflict with it, the appearances
are misleading in all cases we have examined. This paper scrutinizes four
instructive cases in French that appear to falsify the PPFS. Section I
deals with the alleged relevance of syllable count to the description
of attributive adjective placement; section 2 addresses the validity of
a rule mentioning consonantality in stating the agreement rule for adverbial
tout; section 3 turns to the issue of preposition choice (e.g. en vs.
au) with geographical proper names: and section 4 takes a look at a purported
case of phonological reference in stating the rule for ellipsis of a clitic
pronoun and an auxiliary in a coordinate structure. In each case we bring
independent evidence to bear on the problem in order to show that the
analyses employing phonology-sensitive syntactic statements are in error
and the prediction of the PPFS is confirmed.

Abstract: Selten's Chain store paradox (1978) is used in order to explain
the continuing mi-litary intervention of Russia in Chechnya. In Selten's
paradox the monopolist applies a strategy of predatory pricing against
the first entrant into the market in order to deter further entrants.
Likewise, Russia tries to deter other regions from their declaration of
independence by using a strategy of strong military intervention against
Chechnya. Because of the Chechen military counter-strategy this resulted
in a spiral of military escalation, whose end is not to be foreseen.

Abstract:
Since Russian forces went into Chechnya in December 1994 to end separatist
aspirations, the Chechens have managed to tie up some 40,000 to 60,000
men. The conflict, which the Russian Defence Minister, Pavel Grachev,
famously predicted would be over in a day, has cast a blight over Boris
Yeltsin's presidency and called into question Moscow's military might.

Abstract: One has only to note that Mr. Chevardnadze is in power in Georgia,
that certain leaders of the Chechen revolt are of Russian origin, that
the majority of those in charge of former Soviet republics are apparatchiks
of the Gorbachev era, to come to the conclusion that this is a phenomenon
the like of which is not to be found anywhere else. This amply demonstrates
what must have been the specific nature of Russian and Soviet colonization,
faced with that of other colonial or imperialist powers. And, as the author
shows, it also foreshadows the nature of the process of decolonization.

Chechnya and the state of self-determination in a breakaway region of

COLUMBIA JOURNAL OF TRANSNATIONAL LAW, 34: (1) 255-295 1995
Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 66 Times Cited:

Abstract:
In December 1991, the people of Chechnya became the center of public attention
when the Russian Federation launched a full-scale military assault on
the region in an effort to put an end to Chechnya's ongoing attempt to
secede. Facing overwhelming odds, Chechen fighters continue to assert
the right to independence and to date, the fighting has continued in the
region. This Note evaluates the legitimacy of the Chechen secession bid
in the context of the dissolution of the former Soviet Union and the formation
of the Russian Federation. The author proposes one approach to the right
of self-determination and secession, looking at the historical and political
factors that are relevant in evaluating the legitimacy of secession claims.
This approach is applied to the successful secession of Lithuania, highlighting
the criteria present in a successful claim. The criteria are then related
to the circumstances of Chechnya to compare two claims with many historical
and political similarities and to evaluate their relative strengths. Based
on this evaluation, it is argued that Chechnya has a claim to independence
equally compelling as that of Lithuania and is thus entitled to have its
right to self-determination and independence recognized.

Observations on health care issues in the former Soviet Union, Davidow
SL
JOURNAL OF COMMUNITY HEALTH, 21: (1) 51-60 FEB 1996
Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 2 Times Cited:
1
Abstract:
With the demise of the Soviet Union, the health care systems that remain
in the component countries face many problems not seen in Western countries
since the late 1800s or early 1900s. The author traveled to several countries
of the newly independent states (NIS) of the former Soviet Union and observed
problems in hospital sanitation, public health, medical equipment and
supply distribution, food quality and safety, and the delivery of medical
services.
The author makes several suggestions to improve the delivery and quality
of health care services in the NIS. His recommendations include: developing
health care standards similar those that were first implemented in the
U.S. by the American College of Surgeons in 1919; the use of practice
guidelines and outcomes measures; building on organizational structures
from the old state health system for professional and public health education;
and restructuring the old delivery system to form a new delivery model
based on centers of excellence and group practice managed care. Because
of so many needs, the author stresses keeping reforms as simple as possible
so as not to overburden the health professionals. The author also calls
on Western countries, particularly the U.S., to assist with the rebuilding
of the health care delivery system of its Cold War adversary as it helped
Germany and Japan after World War II. Such aid should be viewed as humanitarian
in nature and should be distributed to private/public partnership efforts.
The author says recent Congressional proposals to cut off aid in order
to influence the Russian government's position on nuclear technology sales
to Iran and the Chechen war are short sighted and will only hurt the citizens
of these countries while having little or no impact on the leadership.
