Abstract

ALLAHVERDIEV, Kenan. Threats to ethnopolitical security in the central caucasus. Conrado [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.78, pp. 331-335.  Epub Feb 02, 2021. ISSN 1990-8644.

Ethnopolitical conflicts are currently one of the focuses of attention in political science because they have a great influence on the security and stability of the regions. Historically, the Caucasus has presented this type of conflicts because the region is a point of convergence of several ancestral cultures, so disputes over territories have been frequent. However, being a wide and rich region, it should not fall into geographic reductionism, so the peculiarities of each subregion should be taken into consideration for a comprehensive understanding of the conflicts. The objective of this work is to analyze the threats to ethnopolitical security focused on the particularities of the Central Caucasus. For this, the work traces the evolution of ideas about the ethnopolitical dimension both in political science and in practical politics. These ideas have evolved from the view that the ethnic question has been completely mixed with the social sector of the security system to the scientifically based acceptance of the ethnic dimension of security. Consequently, the recognition that the ethnopolitical aspect of the security issue needs a theoretical and methodological basis, as well as the political-legal institutionalization justifies the analysis of this important issue.

Keywords : Ethnopolitical; security; Central Caucasus.
