Accord Nagorny Karabakh project

Since the ceasefire in 1994 Azerbaijan and Armenia have remained in deadlock over Nagorny Karabakh in the South Caucasus. An internationally sponsored peace process based on closed talks between the leaders has yielded several proposals but no agreement.

Accord issue 17 highlights the obstacles to a sustainable agreement and explores the challenge of bridging the gap between potential for agreement at the negotiating table and popular resistance to the compromises this entails. It examines the roles of civil society and the media, the economics of war and peace, and the challenges for further democratization.

With distrust in the process so widespread, we ask whether a more inclusive and multi-faceted approach could better address the dynamics of polarization and provide greater chances of reaching a solution acceptable to all?

Now available Russian and in Azeri and Armenian, with a new preface, also in English, by the Swiss Foreign Minister, Micheline Calmy-Rey.
