Russia
From 2000-2002 as part of the project on “Self-Governance
in the Region of the Former Soviet Space” LISD examined issues
of relevance to the emerging Russian state, such as borders, Russia’s
religious and ethnic communities, security, education, health,
and the economy, as well as the impact of organized crime and weapons
of mass destruction on the human security of Russia and its European
Union and Asian neighbors.
LISD also hosted discussions on the crisis in Chechnya with
the goal of contributing to a possible solution to this ongoing
crisis. The
Institute endeavored to include a wide range of perspectives – including
local, regional, and international – in the dialogue.
Discussions were focused on the human suffering among the civilian
populations, and the role of extended self-governance as well as
crisis diplomacy.
