Abkhaz election material in the Hoover Archives

The Republic of Abkhazia is recognized as an independent country today by only the Russian Federation, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and a handful of other states although it declared its independence during the course of the Russo-Georgian conflict of 2008. That lack of recognition, however, has not deterred Abkhazia from pursuing state-building activities, the most important of which were the presidential elections held on August 26, 2011. The Hoover Institution has acquired a set of election campaign literature from all three candidates, despite the lack of diplomatic relations between the United States and Abkhazia. The material, including posters, brochures, and leaflets, can be found in the Abkhaz subject collection.

Ajami discusses the last battle of the Cold War on the John Batchelor Show
Fouad Ajami, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and cochair of the Working Group on Islamism and the International Order, discusses, with John Batchelor, his op-ed “The Last Battle of the Cold War.” Afghanistan was once thought of as the last battle of the Cold War, but, according to Ajami, that designation must be accorded to the ongoing struggle in Syria. Moscow has declared the sovereignty of the Assad regime a "red line," stating that it would veto any resolution in the Security Council that would put the regime in jeopardy.
