Abstract
NATO's interference in "Afghanistan and Kosovo" has affected relations with
Russia. To attain the aim and hypothesis of the research, "critical geopolitical"
approach is selected as a hypothetical outline. A schematic "critical geopolitics"
conceptualization of “Gearoid O Tuathail” is exercised as the technique of
study. This study pays concentration to three necessary parts of "critical
geopolitics": “formal geopolitics”, “practical geopolitics” and “popular
geopolitics”. The amalgamations of three elements permit determining the
NATO’s and Russian "geopolitical discourses" to crises in Afghanistan and
Kosovo. As regard to substantiation of crises, NATO’s and Russian
"geopolitical discourses" are evaluated from very positive. It gives a chance to
notice how both sides recognized these crises? How with the passage of time
NATO’s military interference in Afghanistan and Kosovo have prejudiced
associations with Russia interest at international level? Furthermore, evocative
method, discussion analysis and a proportional approach are applied to
scrutinize Russian and NATO’s "geopolitical discourses" towards the crises.
The research of NATO’s and Russian "geopolitical discourses" proved that
hypothesis NATO and Russian "geopolitical discourses" towards emergency in
Afghanistan and Kosovo have affected mutual relations is accurate. Crisis of
Kosovo in 2008 symbolizes the ending of Russian stretch plan towards NATO
and marks a fresh opening of a permanently antagonistic "geopolitical
discourse" against NATO. Combined cooperation and political disputes toward
Afghanistan and Kosovo emergency are slight as compare to the NATO-Russian
"relations" in the European continent
