Transformation of the Georgian–Abkhaz conflict: Rethinking the paradigm (Georgian perspective)

A parallel research project for Conciliation Resources in which two Georgian and two Abkhaz academics examine the causes of the Georgian Abkhaz conflict, chart the progress and failures of the peace process until 2008, and offer some new perspectives on the prospects for peace following the 2008 Georgian-Russian war and the subsequent recognition of Abkhazia by Russia.  Archil Gegeshidze and Ivlian Haindrava give the Georgian perspective.
