Book excerpt: "The present study proposes to explain the nature of Russian civil-military relations in 1999 through the analysis or the causes that, from a Russian point-of-view, led to the outbreak of the Second Chechen War. To achieve this goal, this work focuses on how the specific cause of the conflict, namely, instability in Chechnya and the Kosovo Crisis, affected the civil-military relationship. The method followed is an inductive one, recording relevant statements and actions of both civilian government officials and high-ranking military officers, together with external events considered to have influenced the relationship."--BOOK JACKET.
