Nagorno-Karabakh deadlock

The book examines all relevant models which have been employed in settlingethno-territorial conflicts since the time of the League of Nations. Eight ofthese models have been studied in-depth. The aim of this analysis is to gainexpertise and insights that could prove relevant to resolving the conflict inNagorno-Karabakh. This potential is evaluated in the closing chapters ofthe volume where novel ideas on how to apply the lessons of these cases tothe conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh are presented. This conflict carries manyfeatures typical of ethno-territorial conflicts in present and past times: it isneither unique, nor does its settlement depend on others than the partiesto the conflict. Rather it is - as in all other cases - entrenched historicalnarratives and enemy images which lead to zero-sum calculations and canconceivably only be overcome in a gradual process.Content Part I Nagorno-Karabakh and ethno-territorial conflict settlement Part II Case studies of ethno-territorial conflict settlement: Åland, Bosnia and Herzegovina,Kosovo, South Tyrol, Trieste, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, Quebec.
