Not frozen! The unresolved conflicts over Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh in light of the crisis over Ukraine
In: SWP Research Paper, Band 9/2016
Since 2014 German and European attention has been largely absorbed by the annexation of Crimea, the war in Donbas and the crisis in relations with Russia. Yet the eastern neighbourhood also contains four unresolved territorial conflicts, which have in some respects developed very dynamically since 2014. The authors of this study examine the role of Russia in these conflicts, the political background, the relevant actors and their interests, and the connection between conflict level and geopolitical context. Together they produce a nuanced picture of the arc of conflict in the EU's eastern neighbourhood. Their verdict in all four cases is that the conditions for constructive conflict regulation have deteriorated since 2014. Alongside the geopolitical context, local factors are also significant. Russia plays an ambivalent role, instrumentalising all four conflicts to preserve its influence in the affected states, but without enjoying full control of the dynamics. The authors recommend the EU pursue a nuanced policy of conflict regulation that takes into account context-sensitive local factors as well as the international context. The medium-term goals of such a policy range from the preservation of existing channels of interaction (Transnistria) through de-isolation (Abkhazia and South Ossetia) to de-escalation and conflict prevention (Nagorno-Karabakh).

Assessing the success of EU-OSCE co-operation: a case of mutualism
In: OSCE yearbook, Band 20, S. 339-352
This contribution examines the co-operation between the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), with an emphasis on the developments since the end of the Cold War, and particularly following the turn of the century. The contribution starts by introducing the basics of the relationship and its evolution over the years, focusing on the factors that made the revival of co-operation possible at the end of the 1990s. This is followed by a comparison of the two entities' identical security strategies and their field presence in the same regions, before turning to some of the shortcomings of the relationship, and the steps that have been taken by both sides to address them. Finally, the conclusion provides answers to the main research questions: How successful has the co-operation been, and can the relationship be classified as a case of mutualism? (OSCE Yearbook/Pll)
