Conflict, as dealing with power, generally tends to be analysed in Russian sources through the prism of national interest and power play. Emerging new phenomena, such as terrorism, new/ asymmetric warfare, popular uprisings (e.g. Arab Spring), and the controversial notion of globalization, tend to b...

description |
Conflict, as dealing with power, generally tends to be analysed in Russian sources through the prism of national interest and power play. Emerging new phenomena, such as terrorism, new/ asymmetric warfare, popular uprisings (e.g. Arab Spring), and the controversial notion of globalization, tend to be placed in realist frames of balancing, interest and state politics. This essay expands a constructivist contribution to explaining conflict by looking at the evolution of the image of the ‘other’ and stressing its importance as an element reflecting and cementing the conflict potential at a collective, public level. The argument links the evolution of the Other to its multilevel self-identities, formation of nation-state-self, increase in accessible information flows. By making a socio-historical cut, the essay suggests that conflict ‘others’ today have become more complex, which inhibits conflict resolution and leads us to reevaluate the often neglected role of constructivist analysis. |
