| Abstract: | Well-known political analyst Sergey Markedonov describes recent violence in the eastern part of the North Caucasus, the region's former "sleeping beauty"—quiet, with ethnic and religious rivalries relatively under control. Since the underlying causes of instability are diverse and dangerously synergistic, Markedonov describes, within limited choices, ways that dissatisfactions can be managed using "smart force," before they become still worse. |
