International Alert’s new research, Myths and conflicts in the South Caucasus, sheds light on the ways in which myths and stereotypes about the conflicts in the South Caucasus are created, communicated and used in the region.
This publication attempts to shed some light on the ways in which myths and dominant narratives associated with the conflicts in the South Caucasus are constructed, transmitted and used in the region. A region-wide research project examined three main modern mechanisms through which myths are created and disseminated: through history textbooks; through political discourse; and through the media, including the blogosphere.
This publication examines the political manipulation of myths and dominant narratives associated with the conflicts in the South Caucasus and the impact that has on the conflict dynamic.
This publication attempts to shed some light on the ways in which myths and dominant narratives associated with the conflicts in the South Caucasus are constructed and transmitted in the region. A region-wide research project examined three mechanisms through which myths are created and disseminated. A particular focus of interest was how myths associated with the conflicts are subject to domestic political manipulation, how “enemy images” are created, and how these in turn serve to strengthen the resilience of those conflicts to resolution.
This publication examines the use of history textbooks as a means to deliver myths and dominant narratives associated with the conflicts in the South Caucasus and the impact that has on the conflict dynamic.
Following the change of government in Georgia in October 2012, International Alert launched a new 'Dialogue through research' process with Georgian and Abkhaz experts, inviting them to take stock of the challenges and opportunities facing both societies, taking a medium-term view to 2020.
The publication features nine discussion papers that examine the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict through the lens of democratisation and governance, statebuilding and nationbuilding, socio-economic development and international relations.
We are proud to present four more articles in our Caucasus Dialogues series, which focuses on current issues evolving in the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict context. This month the articles focus on three different themes: the role of the church in the conflict context; the new politics of the new Georgian government; and the role and effectiveness of the Abkhaz parliament.

Since the mid-1990s, international and local civil society actors have been engaged in a wide range of initiatives aimed at transforming the conflicts in the South Caucasus. This book brings together the perspectives and reflections of both Western facilitators and local participants from opposing sides of the conflicts. While not claiming to be fully comprehensive, the initiatives described in this book demonstrate the diversity of peacebuilding, including work with politicians, economic actors, women, media, academia and cultural figures, to name a few.
This collection offers an insider’s view of a diverse range of peacebuilding processes underway in the South Caucasus over the past 15 years from the perspective of the facilitators and participants, describing their vision, evolution, motivations, and their own subjective assessment of success and failure.
