“…26 Thus, religious and ethnic identities in contemporary Europe, fueled as they are by globalization, are being "reconstructed and forged anew by the means of the symbolic materials available in national and religious memories." 27 JeanPaul Willaime neatly summarizes, saying that while cultural, religious and ethnic identities can be constraining to some degree, they are at the same time intrinsically connected to the concept of security, offering a sense of social belonging and participation. If religion is considered from a Durkheimian perspective as expressing and reinforcing social solidarity, it implies the importance of religion in defining and maintaining the boundaries of any community of believers.…”

Festung Europa: Securitization of Migration and Radicalization of European Societies

Europe is undoubtedly changing into Festung Europa -Fortress Europe. While its external boundaries are daily traversed by hundreds of migrants and refugees, its heretofore invisible internal borders have begun to sprout barbed wires, barriers and armed patrols. This paper analyzes the problem of migration and the ongoing European migration crisis through the lens of societal insecurity, arguing that the trend toward radicalization of European societies and electoral politics is one the most volatile ramifications of securitized migration. The European migration crisis has led to a societal security dilemma resulting in a growing chasm between the political elites in member states of the European Union and their societies. The radicalization of those societies is visible in the rising popularity of anti-establishment (populist) parties, the push for direct democracy (demonstrations, manifestations, referenda), and the attractiveness of vigilante groups. Where the state responds to this trend, culture becomes a security policy and "immiskepticism" is the default approach. If it does not respond, society either looks for new political representatives or takes matters into its own hands, sometimes resorting to violence. While the former trend is more visible in the Eastern part of the European Union, the latter is more typical of its Western part.

“…En este sentido, se sostiene que la socialización que experimentan a lo largo de sus t e m a s carreras los predispone a la práctica de la negociación y a la búsqueda de compromisos (Russett 1993). Además, la democracia promueve la paz cuando sus líderes favorecen la eliminación de las hipótesis de con icto con los estados vecinos como medio para reducir el poder interno de las fuerzas armadas (Buzan y Weaver 2003). Otros trabajos, en cambio, se focalizan en el impacto de las instituciones políticas democráticas que obstruyen la movilización de recursos para la guerra al requerir el consentimiento de un amplio conjunto del electorado.…”

Considering the geopolitical, geo-strategic and geo-economic characteristics of Caucasus region, it has been prone for conflict, tension and competition by regional and trans-regional powers from a long time ago. On one hand, the existence of a mosaic of ethnics and cultures in this region has always been a factor for attracting tribunal, social and political conflicts. The collapse of the Soviet Union, divided Caucasus into two parts of North and South. The states of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia were located in the South Caucasus and the other ones were located within the boundaries of Russia and called North Caucasus. South Caucasian republics made a lot of effort to achieve a new position in the region and regulate their foreign (political) bonds after independence according to their historical background and the emergence of a new political atmosphere in the region and the world. The fire of conflicts and tensions in the South Caucasus, the imbalance in the region, the frustration of some countries during the conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and Ossetia, resulted in a gradual divergence of Russia's Caucasian republics. In this condition, the way was paved for the presence of new players especially the United States of America and NATO. In this paper, the history of the Caucasus crisis and its impact on the security and geopolitical condition of neighboring countries and particularly Iran and the future conditions of the region is analyzed.
