| Title | Resolving Frozen Conflicts: The Cases of Transdniestria, South Ossetia and Abkhazia |
| Summary | The present thesis analyzes the conflicts that occurred in Moldova and Georgia in the early 1990s at the turmoil of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. These conflicts are labeled as frozen conflicts due to the unsettled condition of their final settlement. The present thesis aims to understand the reasons that hinder the resolution process of the conflicts in Transdniestria, South Ossetia and Abkhazia in spite of the efforts of various third actors engaged in their resolution process. Although the intrastate conflicts that unfolded on the post Soviet area have attracted attention of many researchers and much is written on the possible causes of these conflicts, little attention has been paid to the conflict resolution process itself in the literature. To uncover the puzzle of the frozenness of these conflicts and to fill out the gap in the existing methodology, the conflict resolution proposals offered by the engaged mediators and the opponent parties are examined in detail in the present thesis. This thesis concludes that the stillness of the resolution of the conflicts in Transdniestria, South Ossetia and Abkhazia is caused by the nature of the disputes. |
