Vladimir Putin`s intervention into the Georgia/ South Ossetia conflict in summer 2008 was quickly recognized by Western critics as an attempt by Russia to increase its presence & power in the ”near abroad”, or the independent states of the former Soviet Union that Russia still regards as its wards. Though the global economic recession that began in 2008 moved the incident to the back of the world`s mind, Russia surged to the forefront again six years later when they invaded the heavily Russian Crimea in Ukraine & annexed it. In contrast to the earlier Georgia episode, this new conflict has generated a crisis of global proportions, forcing European countries to rethink their relationship with Russia & their reliance on it for energy supplies, as Russia was now squeezing natural gas from what is technically Ukraine. In Near Abroad, the eminent political geographer Gerard Toal analyzes Russia`s recent offensive actions in the near abroad, focusing in particular on the ways in which both the West & Russia have relied on Cold War-era rhetorical & emotional tropes that distort as much as they clarify. In response to Russian aggression, US critics quickly turned to tried-&-true concepts like ”spheres of influence” to condemn the Kremlin. Russia in turn has brought back its long tradition of criticizing western liberalism & degeneracy to grandly rationalize its behavior in what are essentially local border skirmishes. It is this tendency to resort to the frames of earlier eras that has led the conflicts to ”jump scales, ” moving from the regional to the global level in short order. The ambiguities & contradictions that result when nations marshal traditional geopolitical arguments-rooted in geography, territory, & old understandings of distance-further contributes to the escalation of these conflicts. Indeed, Russia`s belligerence toward Georgia stemmed from concern about its possible entry into NATO, an organization of states thousands of miles away. American hawks also strained credulity by portraying Georgia as a nearby ally in need of assistance. Similarly, the threat of NATO to the Ukraine looms large in the Kremlin`s thinking, & many Ukrainians themselves self-identify with the West despite their location in Eastern Europe. ...
