Der Russland-Georgien-Krieg 2008: Auswirkungen auf die Europäische Sicherheitsarchitekturby Nik Milosevic
Diplomica Verlag 2010; US$ 6.43Der Fünf-Tage-Krieg zwischen Georgien und Russland war mit Abstand die kürzeste Auseinandersetzung in der konfliktträchtigen Kaukasus-Region. Der georgische Präsident Micheil Saakaschwili versuchte am 8.

Former Assistant Deputy Secretary of State Ronald Asmus contends that it was a conflict that was prepared and planned for some time by Moscow, part of a broader strategy to send a message to the United States: that Russia is going to flex its muscle in the twenty-first century. A Little War that Changed the World is a fascinating look at the breakdown of relations between Russia and the West, the decay and decline of the Western Alliance itself, and the fate of Eastern Europe in a time of economic crisis. more...
