Bosnia's chaos.
Causes of the political crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina today
A new form of 'transformational crisis' has been observed in Bosnia
and Herzegovina since at least 2005. Politicians representing the
three major ethno-political communities (Bosnians, Croats and Serbs)
have successively been raising disputes and have employed various
political tools to preserve the conflicts instead of resolving them. |

The Great Game around Turkmenistan
The dynamics and importance of what
has been happening for the last year or so have highlighted Turkmenistan's

unfrozen conflicts between Russia and the West
The situation in the Southern Caucasus,
especially the separatisms themselves, have in fact become an element
in the wider geopolitical game between the West and Russia. For
Russia, the stakes are maintaining its influence in the region,

it.
