Caucasus
Russia is once again asserting itself as a global power after two decades of economic and social turmoil. Its August 2008 invasion of Georgia signaled the Kremlin’s determination to maintain dominance in post-Soviet countries as a bulwark against the eastward expansion of NATO. Carnegie scholars in Washington and at the Carnegie Moscow Center offer analysis of U.S.-Russia relations, Russian foreign policy, the process of political transition in the Caucasus, and the region’s importance as an energy supplier.
