ROUVINSKI, Vladimir. Más allá de la política del ethnic enclosure: algunas reflexiones a la luz de los recientes acontecimientos en el Cáucaso. CS [online]. 2008, n.2, pp.131-164. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i2.414.

Despite of the image that some readers could have as a result of recent reports in mass media, the contemporary conflict in the Caucasus has long history and a complex nature. This is a conflict which is fought along ethnic lines and the origins of this rivalry can be traced in the Soviet history of the region. In this paper, considering as a departure point the mainstream discussions in the area of studies of nations and nationalism, the author attempts to clarify the grassroots of the modern troubles in the Caucasus. It is a three-fold exercise: firstly, the paper explores the relations between historiography debates, the production of official history and the Soviet ethnic policies; secondly, the author discusses a new framework of ethnic enclosure, and, finally, a case study is offered.
