Данная книга предлагает взгляд изнутри на различные миротворческие процессы, осуществленные на Южном Кавказе за последние 15 лет. Фасилитаторы и участники с противоположных сторон конфликта размышляют о своем видении этих процессов, их развитии, мотивации, а также о своей субъективной оценке успехов и поражений.

С середины 1990-х годов представители международного и местного гражданского обществ занимались большим количеством различных инициатив, направленных на трансформацию конфликтов на Южном Кавказе. В данной книге отображены точки зрения и оценки как западных фасилитаторов этих инициатив, так и местных участников с противоположных сторон конфликта. Не претендуя на всеобъемлющий охват, инициативы, описанные в данной книге, выбраны для демонстрации разнообразия миротворческих работ, выполняемых гражданским обществом, в числе которых работа с политиками, в экономических кругах, с женщинами, детьми, учеными, деятелями культуры и др. Она предлагает взгляд изнутри на восприятие и движущие силы различных процессов, на их развитие с течением времени, на мотивацию участников, а также содержит субъективную оценку успехов и поражений самими авторами статей.

Defining Theories of Change

Peacebuilding with Impact
CARE
International Alert
January, 2012
CARE
14 pages
London, UK

This report focuses on how theories of change can improve the effectiveness of peacebuilding interventions. A review of 19 peacebuilding projects in three conflict-affected countries found that the process of articulating and reviewing theories of change adds rigour and transparency, clarifies project logic, highlights assumptions that need to be tested, and helps identify appropriate participants and partners. However, the approach has limitations, including the difficulty of gathering theory-validating evidence.

This report discusses how theories of change can improve the effectiveness of peacebuilding interventions, reviewing 19 projects in three conflict-affected countries.

The de-isolation of Abkhazia (Russian)

Потребность в большем «вовлечении» Абхазии получила широкое признание со стороны международного сообщества и в настоящее время даже закреплена в официальных Европейской и Грузинской стратегиях. Однако столь «значимое» вовлечение не спешит материализоваться - наблюдается тенденция скорее к отчуждению, чем к сближению.

В данной работе грузинские и абхазские исследователи рассматривают вопрос «де-изоляции» Абхазии и вовлечения международного сообщества.
