TRANSCRIPT
Conflict in the Former USSR
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, conflict in the former USSR has been a key concern in international security. This book fills a gap in the literature on violent conflict, evaluating a region that contains all the modern ingredients for instability and aggression. Bringing together leading experts on war and security, the book addresses cur-rent debates in international relations about power, interests, global-isation and the politics of identity as major drivers of contemporary war. Incidents such as the 2008 Russo-Georgian conflict, the wars in Chechnya, and Russia’s struggles over national identity and resources with former communist states are all thoroughly examined. With new issues like energy security, terrorism and transnational crime, and older tensions between East and West threatening to deepen once more, this is an important contribution to the international security literature.
dr m at t h e w s u s s e x holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne (2001) and completed his undergraduate and Honours qualifications at the University of Queensland. He is currently Senior Lecturer in the School of Government, University of Tasmania, where he coor-dinates that institution’s international relations programme. His research interests include international security, Russian politics and foreign policy, strategic studies, European politics and international relations theory.

This volume grew out of a series of workshops on security and con-flict on the territory of the former USSR held in Limerick, Republic of Ireland, and the Australian National University in Canberra. Much excellent scholarship has been done on the politics of former commun-ist states, and there are many detailed evaluations of the often troubled relationship between Russia and the West. But there are few books that examine the topic of war and conflict in the former USSR as their cen-tral theme. We therefore offer this contribution to supplement current research.
I owe a particular debt of thanks to Jo Lane and John Haslam at Cambridge University Press for their words of wisdom, encouragement and gentle prodding during this volume’s gestation. Their assistance during the preparation of the manuscript was professional, first-rate and understanding. I also thank the copy-editor, Joanna Pyke.
I am also grateful to the Australian Research Council (ARC) for fund-ing my project on globalisation and war in the Caucasus. This grant made it possible to bring together a variety of experts from across the world in the one place, and was the primary impetus for this volume.
There are a number of other people I should acknowledge, but space precludes a more fulsome list. I owe my particular thanks, then, to my fellow contributors, but also to Peter Shearman for his wisdom and long-suffering guidance over the years, to Les Holmes for jumping into the breech, to Matt Killingsworth for being an irreverent kindred spirit, and most of all to my wife, Tracey, whose tolerance of my regular late nights bashing the keyboard made this book possible.
Finally, I would like to dedicate my part in this volume to my young son, Nicholas. He won’t be able to read (much less understand) this book for quite a while, but he certainly enjoyed drawing obscure pictures on early drafts and edits. Come to think of it, so did I.
