러시아의 新국가전략과 北카프카즈 지역의 지정학적 의의

Abstract

Russian New National Strategy and Geopolitical Implications in North Caucasus Neo-national strategy that president Putin is willing to seek after in 21C Russia is to establish 'Strong Russia.' For this purpose, Putin will make certain of absolute authority with restoration of centralism, and install territorial and national unity based on political power. However, the most hostile obstacle against Putin's strategy to build 'Strong Russia' is Chechen separatist terrorism which develope and encourage national separatist independence movements, using of geopolitical and geoeconomical advantage, and that, more important is that the center of this terrorism is North Caucasus region itself. Nowadays, internal and external neo-national strategy for building Putin's policy 'Strong Russia' is closely connected to North Caucasus region, especially to Chechen terrorist movement geopolitically and geoeconomically. Therefore in any cases, Russia will not approve North Caucasus region's national separation movements for the purpose of building 'Strong Russia.' On the contrary, making the most use of geopolitical and geoeconomical advantage, North Caucasian peoples are also likely to carry on independent movements with western society and other Islam world's help. So Conflicts between Russian Federation and North Caucasus region, except for the situation which bilateral relationships are temporarily in a harmony, will occur repeatedly without a break.
