Abstract
Unique phenomenon of international conflict from the other phenomena of international relations as a phenomenon of infinite complexity and overlap in terms of mixed contradictions to each other due to the multiplicity of dimensions and overlapping causes and sources and the complexity of their interactions and effects of direct and indirect and varying levels that occur then these interactions in terms of range or intensity. < br /> The conflict in reality is the process of conflict of wills contradictory, it also conflicts resulting from differences in the motives of states and in their visions, goals and aspirations and its resources and potential, which causes the result to make decisions or to pursue foreign policies that differ more than consistent with the conflict more than they converge and although from the diversity of manifestations and forms of international conflicts, regional, however, it tends to use the tools of conflict different that fall from most effective to the most negative way that serves these countries in achieving the policies and strategy (1). The conflict that existed between the United States of America and the former Soviet Union particularly clear example of the conflict existential, fundamental, extended to all areas of life, which was based on the principle balance of international power Each of these two countries were willing to achieve nuclear superiority absolute and the achievement of hegemony on the world and trying to be all the state of them is the most powerful militarily and richer economically and to be is without other, more presence and influence politically and diplomatically, (2), however, that the end of the Cold War and the ensuing disintegration of the former Soviet Union and its collapse formally has led to the end of the balance of power, former international to be replaced by a unipolar, which featured on the peak States United States of America. However, it is useful to note that the international balance of power I want it over time stabilizing ensure the structural characteristics of the international political system, by preventing the aspiration of one of the major players in the international arena to increase its power at rates higher than the other of State and the direction which allows them to control the political system existing international and convert it later to another system and for the sustainability of this policy is assumed to act forces acting toward each other in the light of a specific rules and that these rules do not rise to the feature of common law that determines the behavior patterns international political, however, can understand the balance of international in the sense that case, which is characterized by the distribution of balanced or semi-balanced force and effect between the fundamental forces in the international political system (3). Consistent with the foregoing, it can be said that the conflict Russian-American at the current stage is one of the most important subjects that fall in the field of international political relations, especially since the world began going through the task of fundamental changes in the environment, the international political system during the first decade of the third millennium, as the United States remains sited at the top of the pyramid of international political and constitute an important and essential in the management of conflict international since the end of the Cold War has led to the emergence of a superpower and one trying to impose its hegemony and influence over the world as it is trying to extend its influence and control over the area were not within the areas of influence of past and national interests direct the Caucasus region, which was affiliated to the Soviet Union in the face of all this there was a development of a key international political environment and is one of the most important developments in the political history of mankind, represented by the emergence of a world power a huge budget of the U.S. role is Russia, the heir of the force ex-Soviet. has Russia succeeded in passing the phase transition that followed the era of the Soviet Union, and the concomitant difficulties of development, security and desire to play again the role of a broader international politics and its correct the imbalance that existed in its foreign policy, where The Russian efforts in recent years to achieve a specific objective is to restore its will in international affairs. It is believed by many experts and specialists affairs of the Russian that the economic growth rates high enjoyed by the country in light of macroeconomic policy will enable Russia to gain access to sixth place among the major economies of the world and, by the year 2020 between the economies of the five largest in the world, and the pursuit of Russian President Vladimir Putin and later Dmitry Medvedev to update Russian military force and provide them with the latest weapons and military technology developed will enable it to restore its military superiority and prestige in the international arena. The world has approached already confrontation interval, which will decide the outcome of the transitional phase, which began its features to appear and not the meaning of confrontation separating the rising powers and anti-American hegemony are going to approach the escalation of differences with the United States to end military confrontation or below the a little as it means that these forces will focus its efforts in the coming years to promote sites rise in the pyramid of international political and the achievement of the reasons for its renaissance and its supremacy gradually and accumulation, but firmly and will try as much as possible raising the cost borne by the United States to maintain its dominant role in international affairs, which began these forces seeking to truly realize (4). According to the above, one can say that the world had seemed to pass in transition and transition in an international political system of the unipolar system carries the features of an empire and deal with some behaviors, tools and ambitions to another system no one can currently bet on Ksmath and characteristics and patterns of potential interactions and potential. go out the content of this study to search in the most important political changes of the conflict Russian-American on the Caucasus and This study attempts to answer for key question is to you that the Russian-American conflict on the Caucasus region will lead to a process of change in the current international balance of power? And stems from the basic question that a group of sub-questions that this study is trying to answer them and are: what is the importance of the Caucasus region for the Russian and American parties? What are the causes of war in the Caucasus and its consequences? What are the paths Russian-American conflict in the current stage? What shifts the balance of power international anticipated?. The study is based on scientific hypotheses to the effect that the conflict Russian-American on the Caucasus region will lead to a change in the balance of power existing international Accordingly, whenever the growing role of Russian in the Caucasus, the less the role and influence U.S. in that region, and vice versa, because the lesser the Russian role in the Caucasus region where the growing role and influence of the U.S. in that region. The study was based on the analytical method and the inductive approach in order to reach the results of scientific objectivity minute serving of this research. There is no doubt that Russia is becoming an important force pushing for political change in the world and returned a party to his weight in international politics to lead the international position of refusing to the uniqueness of American leadership and international can be said that how they will employ them all by the elements of strength as it makes the forces able to exercise the role of an active and essential in the overall international policy is the one who will rule in the next stage how the quality of the change in the international balance of power. The conflict Russian-American on the Caucasus region will generate new results and the task of returning a whole to change the international balance of power now and in a form that leads to the end of an era single unipolar power and hegemony to the benefit of other system features began to emerge in the region has become of particular importance in the world, namely the Caucasus region.
