This book was released on 2009 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research will analyze how mediation in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has or has not contributed to progress towards a resolution of the conflict. For this purpose, the paper will give the background of the conflict, and will relate develop℗Ơments that occurred before and after 1994, when a ceasefire was signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The conflict, now in its 21st year, has not reached an equitable solution because of differences of interests and motivations of internal and external actors. This paper will examine mostly one type of international intervention 0́3 mediation. The research will explore the impact of external international actors as mediators between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The ultimate goal is to estimate the effectiveness of the mediation and discern how third-party intervention has contributed to progress towards resolving the conflict. The research incorporates views of foreign and local experts that have had expe℗Ơrience in the conflict at the level of the respective governments and other international governmental and non-governmental organizations. The negotiation process with the par℗Ơtici℗Ơpation of high-level officials from Armenia and Azerbaijan is not sufficient by itself for reaching reconciliation on a community level. The mediation through OSCE Minsk Group that is en℗Ơgaged in the mediation should also involve NGO-level orga℗Ơnizations and other sources for better results. This work can be a good tool for un℗Ơder℗Ơstanding the motivation behind mediations and reasons for the prolongation of conflicts. Moreover, the points raised in the paper can be used to elaborate mediation strategies for other types of conflict by looking at the pros and cons of such levels of mediation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissolution of the Soviet Union has caused many conflicts of different types in the Caucasus region. Among them, the conflict in Nagorno- Karabakh turned out to be the most intractable dispute since it had the properties of a modern global conflict in terms of territorial, ethnic and national dimensions, intertwined with a historical burden of ancient grievances. Many major states and regional actors such as Iran, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey and OSCE, initiated third party mediation in order to resolve the conflict and to terminate violence. Today, many critics argue that the mediators were to blame for the delay of a peaceful settlement since they gave first priority to their own interests and stalled the negotiation process. In this book, the author's approach is predicated on various theoretical frameworks of mediation. The contribution of the mediators to the failure of negotiations is examined with a focus on the third party mediation; variables concerning the mediator, the conflict and the negotiation process. In doing so, the author finds the mediator motives to be of great significance when it comes to conflict settlement in strategically important regions.

This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a 14-year-old cease-fire in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, troops from Armenia, Azerbaijan and the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic still occupy trenches on a 500-mile long line of contact that sees near-daily cease-fire violations. While many criticize the conflict resolution efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group, the UN and the European Union, the gloomy outlook for a peace deal cannot be blamed on international or regional organizations. The standoff between the parties to the conflict is a reality of the complex history of the Caucasus and the post-conflict developments on the political and security scenes there. The genocide of approximately one million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 and only two decades of independence for Armenians over the past millennium make it extremely difficult for Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh Republic to see any benefit in making major concessions, such as returning to Azerbaijan the seven territories still controlled by the ethnic Armenians. A continuing standoff may be the best hope, as an ongoing arms race points towards renewed war.

Book excerpt: As Azerbaijan and Armenia celebrate the 20th anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union, both countries find themselves trapped in a decades-long territorial dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan, populated mostly by ethnic Armenians. Mediation efforts by the OSCE's Minsk Group have failed to produce a breakthrough so far. The political leadership of both countries is unwilling and unable to make painful concessions, fearing opposition from domestic public opinion and the Diaspora abroad. As the arms race in the region accelerates, there is little hope for peace in the near future. The upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan will leave little room for political maneuvre. Meanwhile, growing frustration among both nations might lead to the outbreak of war and thus put the socio-economic development of the region and energy projects at great risk.

Download or read book Armenia and Azerbaijan written by Laurence Broers and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict for control of the mountainous territory of Nagorny Karabakh is the longest-running dispute in post-Soviet Eurasia. Laurence Broers shows how more than 20 years of dynamic territorial politics, shifting power relations, international diffusion and unsuccessful mediation efforts have contributed to the resilience of this stubbornly unresolved dispute. Looking beyond tabloid tropes of 'frozen conflict' or 'Russian land-grab', Broers unpacks the unresolved territorial issues of the 1990s and the strategic rivalry that has built up around them since.

Book excerpt: After nearly thirty years without peace, the conflict over the region of Karabakh, which pits Azerbaijan and Armenia against one another, has been called a “frozen conflict.” But with deadly fire across the line of contact every year, it is more accurate to say that the settlement process, rather than the conflict, is frozen. International mediation may have helped to deter the parties from resuming full-scale armed hostilities, but it has failed in its primary goal of resolving the conflict. Why has peacemaking in the Karabakh conflict failed? Answering that question requires examining the roots of the conflict, the context in which it arose, and the factors that have kept it going. This study offers some frank evaluations of the efforts made over the years to resolve the conflict, some of which have not been discussed publicly except in the partisan narratives of one side or the other. Although mediation in Karabakh has not worked, that does not mean it cannot work; the building blocks for a settlement have been under discussion for at least a decade. The main factor in the failure of negotiations has not been the mediators but the failure of the leaders of both sides to prepare their peoples for compromise. Having led their peoples to expect nothing short of total victory, the leaders live in fear that any solution will lead to a popular backlash that may kill them. Achieving a lasting peace in the Karabakh conflict is not a matter of finding a deus ex machina, flattering leaders, or crafting and re-crafting words until the right combination is found. The mediators can best influence the issue by addressing a clear message to the leaders: the international community is here to help, to provide political cover, and even to serve as a scapegoat, but ultimately it is the leaders who need to work out a sustainable peace for themselves and a normal life for their people.
Download or read book The Nagorno Karabakh Conflict written by Heiko Krüger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caucasus region, situated on a natural isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, has long been a border zone and a melting pot for a diverse range of cultures and peoples. As the intersection between Europe and Asia, and also - tween Russia and the Ottoman and Persian Empires, it has featured in the strategic plans of numerous great powers over the centuries. Given its abundance of natural resources, the ready-made raw material transport routes to Europe and its enduring position on the edge of Russia, nothing has changed to the present day. The tremendous development opportunities of the Caucasian region are being tarnished by unresolved territorial conflicts that put a continual and regionally balanced growth, sustained democratisation and long-term stability at risk. These conflicts, which all erupted with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, include the separatist movements in Abkhazia, Chechnya, Nagorno-Karabakh and South - setia. The war over South Ossetia, which erupted between Russia and Georgia in August 2008, spelt out the explosive potential still inherent in these conflicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the unwelcome legacies of the past century are a group of conflicts, both intrastate and interstate, that seem destined never to end. From Kashmir to Nagorno-Karabakh, Colombia to Sudan, the Korean Peninsula to the Middle East, these deeply entrenched, intermittently violent conflicts have so far resisted all outside efforts to resolve them.What lessons aside from the apparent futility of mediation can such dismal situations possibly offer? As the distinguished contributors to "Grasping the Nettle" make plain, this is not a rhetorical question. Unyielding conflicts offer numerous insights not only about the sources of intractability but also about such facets of mediation and conflict management as how to gain leverage, when to engage and disengage, how to balance competing goals, and who to enlist to play supporting roles.The first part of this eye-opening volume identifies and analyzes the defining characteristics and underlying dynamics of intractable conflicts. The second part turns the spotlight on no fewer than eight current cases, in each instance chronicling the conflict's evolution, evaluating the internal and external factors that have conspired to prevent a settlement, and assessing whether past peacemaking initiatives have in fact only aggravated the conflict. The conclusion makes the point that even intractable conflicts eventually end and highlights the strategic approaches and tactical steps that have yielded success in the past for mediators and conflict managers from governments, international organizations, and NGOs."
