The Role of the CIS and GUAM in the Implementation of Settlement Measures in Conflict Zones of the South Caucasus and Moldova (1991–2020)

Abstract

The collapse of the USSR in 1991 revealed a range of geopolitical and security challenges in the post-Soviet space. Ethnic, political, and territorial conflicts intensified in states that had newly gained independence. In particular, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the South Caucasus, together with the Abkhaz and Georgian–Ossetian conflicts, as well as the Transnistrian issue in Moldova, contributed to regional destabilization and increased the need for long-term settlement efforts. In response to these problems, diplomatic and political initiatives aimed at resolving conflicts were implemented through various international and regional organizations. Although regional structures such as the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and GUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Moldova) undertook efforts to promote the peaceful resolution of conflicts, the effectiveness of these initiatives produced differing outcomes. This article examines the role of the CIS and GUAM in the settlement of conflicts in the South Caucasus and Moldova between 1991 and 2020. It analyzes the strategies adopted by these organizations, as well as their achievements and structural limitations in addressing conflicts that have become long-standing and “frozen.”
