Russian troops in Georgia 2 Analysis: A war report short on facts and weak on findings 5 Oct 2009 by Dr Jonathan Eyal
The long-awaited European Union investigation into last year's war between Russia and Georgia ignored the real context of the conflict - resulting in a banal and simplistic report that has failed to fulfil its intended purpose. Law and Ethics Georgia Europe Russia

Analysis: After Georgia, we are on our way to a hostile climate in East-West relations 14 Aug 2008
Georgia’s ‘mini war’ may be over, but its implications will reverberate for years to come. Russian-Western relations will nosedive, and the East Europeans will push both NATO and the EU into adopting more hostile policies towards Russia. The US will also start to take the Russian challenge more seriously. A new ‘Cold War’ is not inevitable, but a hostile climate in East-West relations is now a certainty.

Bush and Sakashvillii Analysis: The US, Georgia, and Russia 12 Aug 2008
Unable to offer Georgia military support, the United States has been left in an uncomfortable position where it could not be seen to be abandoning one of its most important regional allies. Still worse lies ahead: it must reassure the East Europeans that the Georgia episode is not the start of a 'softer' policy towards Russia, and it may also have to rebut accusations that, through its vocal support for Georgia, it actually encouraged that country's leadership into the military adventure.

Kouchner Shakasvilii Analysis: 'We are Extremely Concerned': The EU and Georgia 11 Aug 2008
As European foreign ministers gather for an emergency meeting and the diplomacy to halt the violence in Georgia intensifies, we must take stock of the performance of the EU’s foreign policy in this conflict. The conclusions are tentative, but still unmistakable: yet again, Europe scores poorly. European Union International Institutions Georgia Europe Russia
