A. O. Lasarya The peculiarities of ethno-political conflicts on the post-Soviet space

Abstract: The article analyzes the theoretical, conceptual and applied aspects of ethno-political conflicts settlement on the post-Soviet space, defining the context of regional security on the post-Soviet space (South Caucasus region). The modern society of this region is diverse and heterogeneous; it forms a complex structure which includes several thousands of various ethnic communities, different in the population size, the linguistic, political, socio-cultural, civilizational and religious guidelines. Undoubtedly, in their complex these differences to some extent determine the genesis of ethno-political conflicts in this region. The methodological base of the research includes the following methods: system, structural and functional, cultural and civilizational, comparative historical, comparative political, geopolitical, and the methods of induction, deduction, observation, analysis, synthesis, and modeling. The end of the 20th century brought into the world the variety of unprecedented challenges and threats. The decline of the socialistic order, caused by the collapse of the USSR, marked the appearance of the expected critical ethno-political contradictions on the post-Soviet space. They had been developing into bloody armed conflicts, and their endings caused the appearance of virtually independent self-proclaimed states like Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transdniestria and Nagorno-Karabakh.
