Book Synopsis

Taking into account a changed political landscape, including the EU's new foreign policy instruments, they also make concrete policy proposals to make war less likely.

Review Quotes

"While there are numerous books on the NK conflict, this one stands out from the set in that not only does it comprehensively present the conflict, but also, and perhaps more importantly, aims to come up with innovative solutions which would contribute to the conflict settlement." - European Union Affairs

"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan almost defines the intractable in so-called intractable ethnic conflicts. Ever since the break-up of the Soviet Union it has festered without much progress towards resolution. This book is the first to address the conflict across its various dimensions and to suggest approaches to its amelioration. What is most refreshing about the whole collection is the attitude that if it is to be resolved the conflict must be seen as ineluctably political and that military solutions would be anything but."
