Kushtakova, A. A. Peculiarities of a Regional Process of State Construction in the Republic of Dagestan

Abstract: The article describes the modern social and political situation in the Republic of Dagestan which refl ects a striking contrast between superfi cial stabilization of the situation in a region and presence of social, economic, trans-ethnic, historical and political contradictions, biter rivalry between clannish groups for power, infl uence and economic resources. Internal struggle is mostly carried out outside the public policy, based on the main factors of confl icts which demand a comprehensive analysis. Focuses of potential pretensions of ethnical communities towards one another as well as towards the state institution, extreme forms of confrontation of confl icting parties, internal controversies of social movements and institutions which were so solid and united not so long ago – it all creates a true need in the theoretical analysis of state construction in the Republic of Dagestan.
