Abstract
This study presents a conceptual framework for understanding the conflict in one of the most dangerous regions of the world – the Caucasus. Theories are a good starting point for understanding the causes of the conflict and provide comprehensive analysis. However the lack of conceptual consensus is damaging to scholarly efforts to advance our understanding of armed conflict. This study tests the ability of four analytical categories – ethnic, political, ideological and strategic/territorial - to explain the outbreak of ethnic conflict in Caucasus. The study sheds a considerable light on the significance of the different aspects and illustrate their change in time. This breadth of explanatory power is the theory’s chief claim to its status as a paradigm superior to another theoretical approach.
