Abstract
Ce document est une analyse systématique des causes de la guerre entre la Géorgie et la Russie en 2008. La première section donne un bref historique du conflit. La deuxième section propose trois hypothèses pour déterminer la cause immédiate de la guerre . La dernière section analyse la validité des hypothèses sur les effets de l'évolution des structures de pouvoir, la rhétorique nationaliste et de faux optimisme sur la guerre et ce sur la base des discussions théoriques.
