  • Civil Society and Conflict Transformation in De Facto States

    Tomáš Hoch, Vincenc Kopeček et al.ARTICLEProblems of Post-Communism2016Citada por: 3Referencias: 6

The authors discuss the factors that limit the activities of these CSOs as a result of the restricted sovereignty of de facto states. The…

    If Armenian and Azerbaijani negotiators ever agree on the future status of Nagorno-Karabakh, it will not necessarily resolve the long-running conflict, because any peace treaty would require the consent of the Karabakh Armenians, whose political representatives are currently excluded from peace negotiations. It is difficult to imagine the Karabakh Armenians consenting to such a treaty without a change in their perception of the Azerbaijanis. Acco…
