Kto Kogo? The Use of Peacekeeping Forces in Russian Foreign Policy: The Cases of Moldova, Georgia, Bosnia and Kosovo

Abstract

In this thesis I will argue that Russian peacekeeping policy in the 1990s can be ascribed to two variables: geography and target audience; which reflect the evolution of Russian foreign policy as a whole. The development of this policy over time has been the result of domestic political pressure to change the Russian relationship with the international community, primarily the West and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). This domestic political pressure developed during the complex process of determining Russian national identity and national interests, which itself was responding in part to domestic and international events.
