The Outlook for the South Caucasus after August 2008


Monday 20 October 2008 14:00 to 15:30

Location

Chatham House

Participants

Speaker: Sabine Freizer, Europe Programme Director at International Crisis Group

Discussant: Rachel Clogg, Caucasus Programme Director at Conciliation Resources


Type: Fee-paying or special invitation events

The recent conflict in Georgia will have complex and paradoxical consequences for security in the Caucasus region. For some actors, though by no means all, Russia's show of force may discourage attempts to contest its policy in the region. The subsequent recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, however, could embolden separatist movements within the Russian Federation itself, and further south in Nagorno-Karabakh. Meanwhile the internal security of Georgia is now also uncertain.

This event is by invitation only.
