Деизоляция Абхазии

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.

A time for reflection

Bringing peacebuilding approaches to the UK

The usual August calm was shattered by the disturbances across England two weeks ago. Whilst the debris is now cleared from the streets, the boarded-up shop windows and fire-blackened facades remain, reminding us of the harder process of rebuilding both physically and socially that needs to follow.

Alert's Secretary General reflects on England’s riots

If the UK were a fragile state…

Peckham, London - August 2011

This month, rioting and looting gripped England. At a time of uncertainty, it seemed salient (and perhaps inevitable) to ask, if the UK were a fragile state, how would we approach the events of last week, their aftermath and the future?

The de-isolation of Abkhazia

The need for greater ‘engagement’ with Abkhazia has been widely acknowledged by the international community and is now even enshrined in official European and Georgian policies. Nevertheless, as ‘meaningful’ engagement is slow to materialise, the trend on the ground is of increasing alienation rather than rapprochement.

In this paper, Georgian and Abkhaz researchers examine the need for the de-isolation of Abkhazia and the nature of engagement by the international community.

The Politics of Non-recognition in the Context of the Georgian-Abkhaz Conflict

In this study, Georgian and Abkhaz researchers examine one of the fundamental polarising issues of the conflict – the political status of Abkhazia. While Russia formally recognised Abkhazia as an independent state in August 2008, the ‘non-recognition’ of Abkhazia remains the cornerstone of Georgian and international policy. Georgian researchers explore how sustainable the policy of non-recognition is, under what conditions the policy might fail and what Georgia would do in those circumstances.

In this study, Georgian and Abkhaz researchers examine one of the fundamental polarising issues of the conflict – the political status of Abkhazia.
