  Using a plaquette formulation for lattice gauge models we describe monopoles
of the three dimensional SU(2) theory which appear as configurations in the
complete axial gauge and violate the continuum Bianchi identity. Furthemore we
derive a dual formulation for the Wilson loop in arbitrary representation and
calculate the form of the interaction between generated electric flux and
monopoles in the region of a weak coupling relevant for the continuum limit.
The effective theory which controls the interaction is of the sine-Gordon type
model. The string tension is calculated within the semiclassical approximation.
