Autonomy and conflict : ethnoterritoriality and separatism in the South Caucasus : cases in Georgia
"Autonomy and Conflict: Ethnoterritoriality and Separatism in the South Caucasus – Cases in Georgia" is Svante E. Cornell's doctoral dissertation, published in 2002 by the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University. The work examines the role of territorial autonomy in fostering violent ethnic conflicts in the South Caucasus, focusing specifically on Georgia. Cornell analyzes the historical and political development of Georgia, exploring how autonomy arrangements have influenced separatist movements and ethnoterritorial disputes. The study is structured into chapters that address the roots of ethnopolitical conflict, the impact of communism and nationalism on ethnicity within the Soviet context, and the factors contributing to conflict in the region. The dissertation concludes with an analysis of the political development in Georgia and offers explanations for the emergence of ethnopolitical conflicts. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the complexities of autonomy and separatism in the South Caucasus
