This book seeks to explore the relevance of major theoretical and
methodological approaches currently dominating the field of ethnic
conflict and civil war research, testing their efficacy by applying
them to three major South Caucasus conflicts of the late 1980s and
early 1990s.Souleimanov explores the causes and dynamics of ethnic
conflict and civil war, distinguishing between onset-based and
process-based theories. He introduces a scheme of periodization
which links the phase of low-scale inter-ethnic violence with the
phase of sustainable organized violence, asserting the crucial
importance of elites and their use of opportunity in power
asymmetry as a key factor in instigating full-scale civil war.As a
merger of theoretical and empiricist approaches, this book focuses
on the case-specific contextual richness of the local conflicts in
Karabakh, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia to draw solid theoretical
conclusions as well as providing suggestions for the improvement of
current theories.
