The future of military doctrine: Lessons on AI and autonomy from the 2020 Karabakh War
The recent Armenia-Azerbaijani conflict, particularly the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, highlighted the transformative role of advanced military technologies, notably unmanned systems with varying degrees of automation and autonomy. This conflict represents a pivotal case study in the evolution of military doctrine, as Azerbaijan’s effective use of drones, loitering munitions, and other autonomous systems significantly shaped its military strategy a…
A comparative study on Ukraine and Georgia energy politics and their geopolitical impact on the EU’s energy landscape
The war in Ukraine has accelerated Europe’s shift away from dependence on Russian energy altering the continent’s energy landscape and its interrelated energy geopolitics. As traditional gas transit routes through Ukraine diminish, alternative corridors, particularly those passing through Georgia and the Caucasus could gain strategic significance in the EU’s energy realignment The presentstudy employs a comparative approach to assess how Russia’s…
Exploring best practices for user engagement in peace and conflict research
Peace and conflict scholars often engage in academic‐policy exchanges to both improve the rigour and relevance of their academic research and translate their findings into tangible policy and practical outcomes for peace and conflict resolution efforts. In a first effort of this kind, this paper explores best practices for user engagement in conflict and peace studies at three stages of academic research: identification of research questions, dat…
Does recognition matter? Exploring patron penetration of de-facto state structures
De facto states seek international recognition. But do patron states that extend such recognition to their de-facto state clients treat them differently than they would have done otherwise? Will patrons, having extended official recognition, be more inclined to treat their clients as ‘regular’ states? Or does recognition only make the client more beholden to the patron? To investigate this, we explore whether granting recognition affects the degr…
Voices of the Caucasus: Mapping knowledge production on the Caucasus region
There is growing recognition that diversity and representation matter to the intellectual health of fields and disciplines. This article takes stock of knowledge production on the Caucasus region, paying particular attention to the question of who has “voice” in academic debates on the North and South Caucasus. Through analysis of publications in, and the editorial boards of, “leading” International Relations (IR) and Area Studies journals, we ex…
Strategic Triangles, Actors and Agency: Georgia and Abkhazia in a Changing Regional Context
In scholarly debates as well as in public discourse, Georgia is often reduced to being one of the states “in-between” Russia and the European Union (EU), and part of a “contested neighbourhood”. The breakaway region of Abkhazia is usually not even credited with that, being treated as a mere appendage to Russia. In this special issue we challenge such approaches by analyzing the forging of Georgia’s and Abkhazia’s strategic paths as much more comp…
Navigating de facto statehood: Trade, trust, and agency in Abkhazia’s external economic relations
What opportunities and trade-offs do de facto states encounter in developing economic ties with the outside world? This article explores the complex relationship between trade and trust in the context of contested statehood. Most de facto states are heavily dependent on an external patron for economic aid and investment. However, we challenge the widespread assumption that de facto states are merely hapless pawns in the power-play of their patron…
Trade as a confidence-building measure in protracted conflicts: The cases of Georgia and Moldova compared
Academic and policy literature on the post-Soviet region’s protracted conflicts frequently assumes that trade is an effective confidence-building measure (CBM) and as such also has the potential to facilitate progress toward conflict settlement. We probe these assertions through a detailed empirical comparison of the effects that regulated and unregulated forms of trade have had in the cases of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria. Relying o…
