Regioninių konfliktų formavimasis : aiškinimas remiantis saugumo kompleksų teorija

Abstract

Straipsnyje siekiama pagrįsti ir paaiškinti vieną iš galimų regioninių konfliktų sisteminio formavimosi modelių, atskleidžiantį svarbiausius šio proceso aspektus. Visa tai pateikiama apž velgiant svarbiausius konfliktų studijų teorinius pagrindus, apimant reikšmingus konfliktų sampratos, tipologijos ir dinamikos konceptus. Didžiausias dėmesys teikiamas disputų kilmės priežasčių suvokimui bei konfliktų regionalizacijos proceso aiškinimui, remiantis saugumo kompleksų teorija. Pastarasis modelis grindžiamas saugumo kompleksų egzistavimu, gali būti naudingas tiek identifikuojant, tiek analizuojant regioninius konfliktus

Conflicts, internal or international, are generated by many various causes and factors. When regionalization processes start (neighbor states are involved into a conflict), the conflict becomes a problem of the whole region. In this article it was tried to show and explain the main aspects of regional conflicts formation, causes of conflicts, and the process of regionalization. These issues are analyzed from the standpoint of security complex; this composes theoretical background of the study. The article asserts that the concept of security complex enables us to envisage the causes of conflicts formation and escalation, as well as also explain their regionalization and the impact on neighboring states. This article presents a theoretical model of regional conflict formation. It argues that research of relations within security complex helps actors to identify security threats more clearly, and this influences the formation of disputes. The sum of causal factors constitutes the core of the conflict, thus it is very important to notice and understand these factors while analyzing regional conflicts. Meanwhile, security complex influences the process of conflict regionalization. Consequences, the presented theoretical model of conflict formation can be useful a better understanding of the processes of conflict formation, and for identification and research of such phenomenon. Otherwise, it is a rather new look at conflicts from regional level, trying evaluate their significance in the context of regional relations
