The Ukraine Crisis: Internal Platforms and Role of Regional and Supra-Regional Factors
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Occurrence of security crises in important geographic regions due to ethnic diversity and delineation of artificial borders as well as competition between regional and supra-regional powers in areas such as Eastern Europe and Middle East are likely. Therefore, uprooting of crisis in the scene of international relations particularly in the mentioned critical regions, at least for short term, does not appear logical. We can comment from a venting point that occurrence of crisis in Ukraine as the second large Republic of former Russia has been predictable from long time ago. Crisis in this country is persistently a reason for concern of officials in Kiev and benefactor countries such as Russia. The important issue that needs focus at this point is the reasons for initiation of this crisis. Based on this important issue, this research seeks to respond to the question that what are the main roots of the initiation and persistence of crisis in Ukraine? It should be noted that for responding to this question, a single factor cannot be considered. Therefore, the hypothesis introduced is such that the main roots of the Ukraine crisis go back to ethnic, language and population gaps, widespread economic weakness and poverty, pervasive corruption in the governing system, political, civil and legal limitations and deprivations and inclination of Victor Yancovic towards Russia as internal factors - involved in the crisis. The main reason for persistence and depreciative nature of the crisis lies in formation of regional and supra-regional activists such as Russia and the European Union, NATO, United States of America and China. If we omit the role of regional benefactors and influential activists from the crisis, we would not be witness to continuation of crisis in Ukraine up until today and the crisis would end in the first few initial months.
