ABSTRACT

This
paper focuses on the contextualization of bilateralism, a foreign policy
concept and practice, via the case of Armenia – Georgia relations in South
Caucasus. In the framework of the main argument that there exists a sui generis and limited bilateralism
between the two actors emanating from their bilateral, regional and global connections,
and that this shall remain; the paper first provides a description of the
emergence, evolution, certain examples and settings of bilateralism. Following a
summary of the two actors’ relations, why and how the bilateralism at hand has
come into existence is explored on the basis of economic and trade relations, transportation
routes, separatism issues, minority factor, and the impact of Russia. In the
final analysis, the paper provides some asssessments and prospects with regard
to the current characteristics as well as the future of the bilateralism concerned.
