    Le conflit tchétchène à l’épreuve de la reconnaissance
    in Cultures & Conflits , n. 87, Guerres et reconnaissance, automne ,  2012 ,  47-68
    The article addresses the issue of recognition in the case of the Russo-Chechen conflict. The main hypothesis is that the denial of recognition played a central role in the way a political conflict developed into an armed war. We tackle the recognition issue from two points of view: firstly, we analyse how not recognising the conflict as a war impacts on the conflict development itself. Secondly, we try to show how identity issues are exacerbated by exo-labellisations, while historical and colonial background are set aside as secondary stakes. In conclusion, we question the quest for justice for crimes perpetrated against civilians as the main surrogate for recognition in a post war situation where neither transitional justice nor reconciliation policies have been implemented.
