A Struggle over Recognition and Nonrecognition: The Internationalization of the Abkhaz State University
The Abkhaz State University (ASU) is internationally isolated, despite its cooperation with universities in Russia. Georgia combines its refusal to recognize Abkhaz statehood with a policy of nonrecognition of its university, which sets the direction for other countries. But the Abkhaz policies of nonrecognition are also to be taken into account. Abkhazia opposes any form of internationalization of the ASU generating closer ties with Georgia. The…

Three types of forgetting: On contested states in Europe
The article examines the extent to which secessionist conflicts involving contested states are forgotten. A distinction is drawn between three particular meanings of forgetting. These conflicts are not forgotten in the sense that the parties involved cease to attach crucial importance to them—even the lack of prospects for overcoming these conflicts does not allow the parties to disregard them. They are, however, liable to be forgotten in the sen…
Statehood’, ‘de facto Authorities’ and ‘Occupation’: Contested Concepts and the EU’s Engagement in its European Neighbourhood
The legal concepts of 'statehood', 'de facto authorities' and 'occupation' are used for analysing both the type of control that unrecognized political entities in Europe exercise over their territory and population, and their relationship with the international order. The use of such terms in political discourse and policy documents will legitimize or delegitimize the claims of the parties to a conflict. They will have a direct political impact o…
Four Positions on the Recognition of States in and after the Soviet Union, with Special Reference to Abkhazia
This essay looks at why, how and with what degree of success the international community has applied its recognition policies in the post-Soviet space. The essay addresses the issue from a normative perspective by comparing these policies with alternative policies on recognition that have arisen in Soviet and post-Soviet debates. A basic distinction is made between four normative positions. The essay compares the kind of just cause these position…

Recognition in international relations: Rethinking a political concept in a global context
“Recognition”, and closely related concepts such as “respect”, “indifference” and “humiliation” are key concepts in political discourse. The negotiations on the 2015 Greek bailout agreement were la
Social Democracy in a Post-communist Europe
This book examines the fortunes of social democracy since 1989 in the former GDR, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, setting the analysis in a broader European framework, and relating the current problems of social democracy in western Europe to developments in the east of the continent

The Organisation of Marathons in Divided Cities: Brussels, Belfast, Beirut and Jerusalem
The organisers of city marathons want to involve a large number of participants and to mobilise the support of local neighbourhoods. This is a particularly difficult challenge in a divided city, especially when the route crosses dividing lines in disputed territories – in which case, organising a marathon carries the risk of generating fresh conflict. But it is possible to avoid such an outcome. Brussels, where the dispute about the city boundari…
Conflict resolution after the 2008 Georgia–Russia War: The Taiwan and Kosovo models as tools for mobilization and comparison
The Taiwan model of conflict transformation and the Kosovo model of conflict settlement have specific features, and are useful for analyzing the Georgian and Russian policies toward Abkhazia and South Ossetia. There is a similarity between the Georgian strategy of engagement and the Taiwan model, with its declared readiness to interact with the other party regardless of any setbacks arising over the issue of status. Unlike the Taiwan model, howev…
Contextualizing Secession
The book focuses on four key themes that are central to the ethics of secession. The first examines the application of ‘choice’ and of remedial ‘just cause’ normative arguments on secession. The second discusses the problem of violence in secessionist struggles and the ensuing relationship between just war theory and the ethics of secession. The third problem is the relationship between nationhood and citizenship, and, in particular, the question…

The politicisation and securitisation of ethnicity: The case of the Southern Caucasus
The question of political status for breakaway regions is an extremely intricate one in the South Caucasus region. A combination of two factors — the politicisation of ethnicity according to the Soviet ethno‐federal framework, and the securitisation of politics — is identified as one of the reasons for the emergence of violent conflicts in the region after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In addition, this combination accounts for the intrans…
