Summary/Abstract: South Caucasus is ethnic and inter-confessional very diverse region, which is highly loaded with frozen conflicts. They date from the late eighties and nineties as a result of ethno-political conflict that occurred due to the attempts of South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh to gain independence from Georgia and Azerbaijan. These conflicts led to a significant engagement of various international actors in the region. Their participation was mainly motivated by different geopolitical interests, which is why the negotiations that lasted for years have not brought a final political solution to the frozen conflicts. This continues to limit progress in achieving political and economic reform in South Caucasus.
