Item EU Conflict Resolution Strategy on the Example of Regional Security in the South Caucasus(2020) Maisaia, Vakhtang; Mikadze, Miranda; Bobkiewicz, SebastianThe South Caucasus is an important region for the European Union due to its geographical location and natural resources. Since 1993, the European Union has aimed to diversify its foreign relations with the help of the regions. One of the regions that the EU has helped a lot with was the South Caucasus. One of the most important issues on the EU's foreign policy agenda has been unresolved conflicts and threats in the South Caucasus. The purpose of my report is to explore the EU's strategy for resolving conflicts in the conceptual framework of the South Caucasus Regional Security Example. To study the topic, I will use qualitative research methods, in particular, literature review, through which I will develop a theoretical framework for research. In its 2003 security strategy, the European Union stressed that it must "take a stronger and more active interest in the problems of the South Caucasus, which, of course, will be a neighboring region." The European Union (EU) has appointed a representative to the South Caucasus, whose task is to promote a peaceful settlement of conflicts in the region, including the crisis in Georgia and the conflict in Nagorno- Karabakh, as well as regional cooperation. All three countries in the South Caucasus have different policies towards the European Union, and therefore each of them requires a different form of cooperation. The European Union is trying to maintain a balanced approach to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict, which has become an obstacle to EU-Azerbaijan relations. However, this is clearly different from the Georgian case, where the EU never hides its support for Georgia's territorial integrity and sovereignty. In 2009, the EU established the Eastern Partnership to strengthen relations with its eastern neighbors, including the South Caucasus. The Common Security and Defense Policy is an integral part of the EU's foreign policy, which aims to ensure the EU's operational capabilities through the use of military and civilian means. The EU Monitoring Mission in Countries is a specific tool used to prevent conflict and build peace. In the areas surrounding the celestial boundary. The EU Monitoring Mission is active only in situations where there is a crisis and immediate response is needed. He has limited rights to act on the other side of the border, within separatist regions, although his influence is still very important.Item The Impact of Asymmetric War on Euro-Atlantic Security(Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi state university, Faculty of social and political sciences, 2021-06) Maisaia, Vakhtang; Mikadze, MirandaIn the 21st century, asymmetric warfare has become a pressing problem for global and international security. The superpowers and the largest alliances are trying in various ways to be ready for the challenges of asymmetric warfare, to anticipate future threats and to take preventive measures. One explanation is that asymmetric warfare is a war in which the military strength of the opposing parties and the tactics or strategies used by them are markedly different. Challenges and geopolitical changes in the modern world make the role and function of European and Euro-Atlantic structures important in world security. New forms of political and military cooperation have called for peace and stability in Europe. Because of this, NATO, through cooperation with former adversaries, has established new mechanisms for Euro-Atlantic security cooperation. The asymmetric threat poses a great challenge to a world that knows no bounds in the politics of both national and international law, peace and war, domestic and foreign policy. The purpose of our presentation is to examine the impact of asymmetric warfare on the European and Euro-Atlantic security systems in a conceptual framework. This requires a study of this issue, which will allow us to find out the nature of asymmetric warfare and its impact on European and Euro-Atlantic security. Security is especially relevant in the age of globalization, when the system of international relations is more vulnerable to the challenges of asymmetric threats such as terrorism, the creation and proliferation of nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction, hybrid warfare and cyberterrorism. There is an asymmetric threat formula: "Weakness dominates or wins over the strong." Despite the constant changes in the world, the European and Euro-Atlantic Alliance has been able to establish peace and stability in the world.Item What is Hybrid Warfare and Its Geostrategic Aspects (Fourth War Generation) – Cyber War Case-Study(Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi state university, Faculty of social and political sciences, 2019-06) Maisaia, Vakhtang; მაისაია, ვახტანგ; Mikadze, Miranda; მიქაძე, მირანდაThe hybrid war is one of the main tools of the "New Generation War." At time being, with consideration of new realities, linked with contemporary international security processes, a war game modulation has been transformed into a new dimension – the introduction of a Fourth Warfare Generation associated with the Hybrid Warfare theory and strategy. Concrete cases of Hybrid Warfare are the occupation and further annexation of Crimea peninsula by the Russian Federation from Ukraine and the so-called “Green Men” affect. Crimea's annexation has caused a threat, that Russia might create a preemptive military presence in any country, and in addition hostilities in the conditions of a hybrid war in Syria's regional war. Moreover, it is clear that war game scenarios are developing and wagging not only in 3-D formats but also in a 4-D format, meaning: land-sea-air- space (cyber). This type of warfare is also determined by the factors linked with non-visible areas and aimed at dwelling on frustration and defragmentation of a foe’s cultural values and focusing on the inferiority on information channels and flows. The viral warfare in cyber warfare is also a variety of the hybrid warfare, called the cyber war. The cyber war is a new threat to national security. The general directions of military strategic parameters of the hybrid war can be presented as follows: • not physical, not moral and political defeat; • combined, coordinated, open and hidden use of terrorism, criminal and cyber combat techniques of Combined Martial Tactical Elements. The purpose of our report is to study the concept of "hybrid war" and to discuss its geostrategic aspects in the conceptual framework of cyber war. For this purpose, it is necessary to research this topic. This will give us an opportunity to find out more about the issue of hybrid war and its geostrategic aspects on the example of the cyber war. We will mainly use qualitative research methods, namely, the review of literature, through which we will develop the theoretical framework of the research and the case study analysis will help us to inspect the real facts in a better way.
