In recent years, numerous developments have taken place that have directly or indirectly affected the dynamics of conflicts in Georgia. Profound transformations have been observed both internationally and, often, within the regional context. Despite the existential importance of these issues for the Georgian state, a thorough analysis of ongoing processes has not been conducted—neither at the broader societal level nor within the expert community. Moreover, discussions dedicated to these topics have frequently been marked by a high degree of politicization, leaving little room for impartial analysis.

The present document represents the work of an expert group established through the joint initiative of the Institute for the Study of Nationalism and Conflicts (ISNC) and the Caucasian House. It analyzes both international and domestic contexts related to Georgia’s conflicts, with the goal of developing concrete, innovative, and practical instruments for addressing them.

The approaches outlined in this document are framed within the broader context of Georgia’s European integration process and are therefore focused on creating conditions that ensure the protection of human rights, civic equality, security, and the integration of all citizens into the common European space, fostering their social, economic, and cultural development.

The intended audience of the document includes the Government of Georgia, Georgian civil society, and the international community. It is expected that the document will attract interest not only from experts but also from the wider public, including residents of the conflict-affected regions and representatives of political elites.

The purpose of the document is not only to provide specific recommendations to relevant stakeholders but also to bring to the forefront new or previously overlooked perspectives on conflict-related issues, and to stimulate both professional and public discussions about the future of conflicts and peacebuilding in Georgia.
