THE DISPUTE OVER NAGORNO-KARABAKH: A PROTRACTED CONFLICT
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss the historical backgroundof the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, to identify the positions of the mainparties involved and to analyze this dispute from two different level-ofanalyses. The first analysis will be a systemic one where the systemlevel conflict dimension in the Caucasus will be investigated. Thisanalysis will demonstrate how the two aspiring hegemons’, namely theUnited States (US) and Russia, rivalry over critical energy resources inthe Caucasus let the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict unresolved. Thereasoning behind this hypothesis is that since other actors in the regionhave quite limited power capabilities vis-à-vis these great powers, thesystemic dimension of the conflict counteracts their involvement to thedefinitive resolution. On the other hand, the second analysis which willexamine the domestic factors determining foreign policy choices of theactors involved in the conflict will provide an alternative preferenceformation process other than the structural one. This approach willpresent the impact of state-society relations on the conflicted actors’preferences and foreign policy choices. Making this kind of a dual studyis a necessity in terms of seeing the complete picture and understandingthe reasons of why the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains unresolveddespite all the bilateral and international efforts
