World Affairs Council: Washington DC - World Affairs Council of Washington, D.C.
The war in Georgia has spurred public squabbling reminiscent of the Cold War, pitting the West against Russia.Yet, especially at a time of global financial crisis, it is not in either side's interest to let the situation get out of hand.How has the war in Georgia affected possibilities for cooperation among Russia, the European Union, and the United States? Are the EU and OSCE peacekeepers and observers playing a valuable role?How has the Georgian conflict affected the critical oil and gas pipelines that traverse the Caucasus?Have Moscow's actions in Georgia contributed to the exodus of foreign capital and the plunge in the Russian stock market?What are the chances for NATO membership action plans for either Georgia or Ukraine? - World Affairs Council of Washington, D.C.
