The Caucasus Region, located between the three big powers Turkey, Iran, and Russia, is characterized by numerous tensions and conflicts at a national and an international level. In the South Caucasus Region, the concentration of conflicts is extremely high – some of them have existed for a long time and are to be characterized as “frozen” conflicts. However, they have become more polarized in the recent years and the escalation risk has been growing which leaves little hope for a peaceful settlement in the near future. Indeed, unhelpful and mutually exclusive positions are currently being reinforced. Inclusive and well coordinated peace processes became extremely important to tackle the complex situation and protracted conflicts. The summer academy addresses these issues and will analyze the dynamics, catalysts and perspectives of conflicts and their potential transformation in the region, with a focus on Armenia and Azerbaijan. Participants will have the opportunity to gain first-hand insights from international and local experts, to learn about and to practice conflict transformation in general and regarding the South Caucasus in particular. The summer academy is an excellent place to increase one’s personal and professional network in the cozy atmosphere of the Caux Palace Hotel.
