Talking about the Georgian Conflict

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Wednesday August 20, 2008 18:27author by Y Report this post to the editors

Here is some good background from activists and writers on the left about the current situation in Georgia.

Mark Almond is especially interesting as he is very knowledgeable on Georgian democracy.

These speeches are from an SWP meeting held in Central London recently under the banner of the Stop the War Coalition.

Mark Almond is a writer and lecturer on history who teaches at Oriel College Oxford and is the chair of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group. He has served as an election observer under the aegis of the BHHRG in a number of countries including Georgia and Ukraine.

Boris Kagarlitsky is a Russian Marxist theoretician and sociologist who has been a political dissident in the Soviet Union and in post-Soviet Russia. He is coordinator of the Transnational Institute Global Crisis project and Director of the Institute of Globalization and Social Movements in Moscow.

Kate Hudson is currently the chair of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (since 2003) and is also a member of the Communist Party of Britain. She is also Head of Social and Policy Studies at London South Bank University and edits the journal Contemporary Politics.

John Reese from the SWP also spoke at the meeting- you can check out his speech on youtube.com by searching under -Georgia, Nato and Spreading War.
