Introduction Summary of the Conference CASCADE’s final academic conference took place on 20-21 October 2016 at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Brussels and centered around the overall theme of the project itself – The Security-Democracy Nexus in and around the Caucasus Region.

The conference was organised by the CASCADE partners at the FMSH, the University of Birmingham, and the ULB and featured 11 panels with 36 paper presentations and up to 60 participants (including presenters, chairs and discussants). The conference was attended by up to 200 people.

The conference was opened by Andrea Rea (Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences at the ULB), Laure Delcour (Scientific coordinator of CASCADE project) and Derek Averre (University of Birmingham) and closing remarks were given by Laure Delcour and Nino Kemoklidze (University of Birmingham).

The conference aimed to re-examine the link between security and democratization in the context of growing authoritarianism and new protest movements, as well as conflict transformation resulting from broader political upheavals in the wider neighbourhood. This re-examination was informed by a combination of macro- and micro- approaches and the various panels represented at the conference mirrored well the true (academic) diversity of the CASCADE project itself.

DAY 1: The conference opened with a panel on GENDER, ACTIVISM AND THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE CAUCASUS which was chaired by CASCADE researcher Aude Merlin (CEVIPOL, ULB) and discussant was Alice Szczepanikova (formerly at CEVIPOL, ULB). Ilkin Mehrabov from Department of Geography, Media & Communication Studies at , Sweden talked about ”Gender, Activism and Surveillance: Azerbaijani Women Protesters Online and Offline”. In this presentation the author looked at the online practices of oppositional politics from the perspective of gender dynamics and conducted gender-based categorization of internet-based protesters, with the political, economic and social classifications. The author argued that such a categorization of women activists, done together with the historical overview of network practices of offline political struggle, helps to determine how different strata of society are affected by surveillance apparatuses of the state. The author further maintained that only internet and social media-based politics is not enough since women protesters are the most affected ones by oppressive politics of the state. Evia H. Hovhannisyan from the Department of Cultural Anthropology at the European University at Saint-Petersburg focused her presentation on “’Exorcism of Cultural Otherness’: The Refugee Women in Post-Conflict Armenia”. Her paper dealt with the pattern of micro-level societal dynamics. The author presented her findings on the issue of the construction of refugee women’s stereotype after the forced relocation to Armenia after the Nagorno Karabakh

conflict (1988-1994) and the deformation of this stereotype influenced by the local discourses. The rationale behind this research was to understand the reasons and the patterns of the construction of the refugee women' negative image in post-conflict Armenia and to find out the impact of these stereotypes on subsequent marital relationship with the locals and the long process of leveling of cultural otherness between different socio-cultural groups in the region. The last presentation on this panel was given by Irina Kosterina from the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation in Moscow. Her paper was entitled “Women as Agents of Modernisation in Northern Caucasus” and explored the ways in which women "reconcile" manifestations of tradition and modernization in the economic sphere in the North Caucasus, as well as examining their strategies towards patriarchy.

The second panel focused on WAR VETERANS, FIGHTERS AND USE OF FORCE IN POST-CONFLICT SITUATIONS and was chaired by Nataliia Stukalo (Olas Honchar Dnipropetrovsk' National University) and discussant was Christophe Wasinski (REPI, ULB). Presentations were given by CASCADE researcher Aude Merlin (CEVIPOL, ULB) – “Armenian Volunteer Fighters in the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict: Change and Continuity From One War to the Next. Some Preliminary Findings” (co-author Taline Papazian (CASCADE/ISP Nanterre)). This research presented some preliminary findings of a recent field-work conducted in Armenia in June 2016 during which the authors examined the different trajectories of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict (1988-1994) veterans and former combatants in the Armenian “post-war” situation. The paper scrutinised the diverse, even divergent, trajectories of these former fighters after they have made a transition from war to civilian life. Another CASCADE researcher Anne Le Huérou (FMSH) presented her paper on "An Ingushetya ‘Counter Model’ of Bringing Peace at Home? The Commission for the Reintegration of Former Fighters into Civilian Life”. Based on extensive fieldwork in the region including interviews with former members of the commission, the author examined how through its routine work the commission is trying to establish a compromise between law enforcement requirements, relying on traditional structures of the local society and an attempt to give room to independent public organisations. Last presentation on this panel was given by Julie Wilhelmsen (NUPI, Oslo) on “Russian Governance of the North Caucasus: Dilemmas of Force and Inclusion”. In this paper the author reviewed Russia’s approach to the North Caucasus since Vladimir Putin came to power and asked what the potential for mobilisation against Russian rule in the North Caucasus amounted to. The analysis was guided by the assumption that the state needs to cater for a broad set of needs in the population to achieve efficient governance and legitimize its rule. It has to provide security and some level of socio-economic welfare, but also articulate an inclusive identity from the top down and keep channels for voice in the system open from the bottom up. The author argued that the last two needs were particularly important in governance over populations in former colonised areas that are ethnically and religiously as diverse as the North Caucasus.

The next sessions of the day were parallel sessions. Panel three focused on the LOCAL DYNAMICS AND EXTERNAL ACTORS IN THE CONFLICT ZONES and was chaired by Syuzanna Vasilyan (CEVIPOL, ULB) with Stefan Wolff (University of Birmingham) as a discussant. Roxana Andrei from the International Politics and Conflict Resolution Programme at the University of Coimbra, Portugal gave the first presentation speaking on “Peace-building and Status Quo in the Unrecognized States of the South Caucasus: Internal and External Limitations”. Her presentation examined the issue of transforming the peacebuilding paradigm after the end of the Cold War in the unrecognised states of the South Caucasus, while bringing together the role of the emerging regional actors, namely Russia, of the international organizations, in particular European Union (EU), as well as of the local actors, in the conflict resolution and peacebuilding process in Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Benedikt Harzl, currently at the Johns Hopkins University, United States, presented a paper on "Self-Determination as “Opium of the Peoples”: Engaging Abkhazia" which examined the correlation between the concepts of the creation of statehood in international law, focusing on the classical criteria for statehood (ex factis jus oritur) on the one hand, and on the positivist premise of recognition, on the other. In this presentation the author analysed the interaction of these concepts in the thorny and much debated context of the unrecognised state of Abkhazia after its recognition by the Russian Federation in 2008. The author argued that it is often overlooked that today Abkhazia is governed by a system based on an ethnic vertical hierarchy, which demonstrates the deficiencies of the declaratory view of statehood, notably, numerous laws of the de facto state of Abkhazia – even on the level of de facto constitutional law – are openly discriminatory towards non-Abkhaz. Franziska Smolnik, Andrea Weiss and Yana Zabanova, ISSICEU researchers from SWP Berlin presented a co-authored research on "Between 'Sultan' and 'Tsar': Impact of the Russian-Turkish Crisis on and Abkhazia". Their paper outlined the social and economic impact of and reactions to the crisis between Turkey and Russia in November 2015 in Georgia and its break-away territory of Abkhazia. The authors argued that when it comes to regional actors in the South Caucasus neighborhood, attention has usually been concentrated on the role of Russia; however, the region’s interaction with Turkey has been very important as well, especially in the economic sphere.

Next, panel four focused on the issues of DEMOCRATISATION, MODERNISATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE CAUCASUS, chaired by Derek Averre (CASCADE researcher from the University of Birmingham and Mark Youngman (also from the University of Birmingham) as a discussant. This panel featured three presentations from CASCADE researchers: Leila Alieva, currently at the University of Oxford, gave a presentation on "The Limits of the 'Democratisation via Europeanisation' Process in the Eastern Neighbourhood: The Case of Azerbaijan". Her paper assessed the effectiveness of the EU in promotion of values in its Eastern Neighborhood. In particular it focused on the 'anomaly' among the cases in the Eastern Neighborhood–Azerbaijan, which in spite of the high level and quantity of 'links', by the end of the decade of partnership with the EU demonstrated decline of democracy and human rights record. Through exploration of the evolution of the EU-Azerbaijani relations the paper critically adapted 'the link and

5

leverage' approach as developed by Way and Levitsky to the cases where the strong vested interests or the alternative agenda exists in the EU relations with the neighbours. Olga Vendina (IGRAS) presented a co-authored paper (with Vladimir Kolosov) on "Transformation Policies and Local Modernisation Initiatives in the North Caucasus". The paper presented evaluation of the results of administrative efforts to develop the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District (NCFD). It focused mainly on the analysis of processes that adapt the undertaken reforms to regional particularities and on the symbiosis of the results of self- organisation of the population and federal and regional innovations, including the so-called anchor (large) projects. The paper also considered the influence of significant transformations of the ethnic structure in different areas on the 'modernisation' agenda. The authors used the data of four focus groups conducted in a large city (Makhachkala) and in the countryside of Dagestan for analysing the relationship between traditional and 'modern' values shared by North Caucasians, including their views on individual success, education, migrations, gender issues and relations with family members. Jean Radvanyi (National Institute of Oriental Languages, Paris) spoke on "Dagestan and Georgia: New developments in the Mountain Areas in a time of Geopolitical Constraints". The author examined the issues concerning development potentials in those regions that have attracted attention both within the Caucasian states and among international institutions. What are the assets on which a renewal may be based in these regions, was one of the questions posed. The author focused on the role of different stakeholders, including local communities, international, government and non-government organisations.

Last two panels of the day focused on various aspects of conflicts in the Caucasus. Panel five featured CONFLICT AND VIOLENCE IN THE CAUCASUS chaired by CASCADE researcher Nino Kemoklidze (University of Birmingham) and discussion was provided by Caroline Holmqvist (REPI, ULB). Anastasia Shesterinina from the Program on Order, Conflict, and Violence at Yale University presented her research on "Pre-War Mobilisation and Violence Onset: The Case of Abkhazia, 1988-1989" which looked at the ordinary people’s mobilisation for pre-war inter-group violence despite potential state repression and violent inter-group opposition. The author analysed the events of Georgian- Abkhaz violence in Abkhazia in the late 1980s to assess the assumptions on the role of pre-war violence in the civil war literature. Lasha Tchantouridzé (Norwich University, VT, US), on the other hand, talked about "Proto-Diplomacy and Armed Conflict in Georgia". The paper focused on how each period of violence between competing communities is preceded by proto-diplomatic activities–the efforts to communicate geopolitical images to others and attract supporters. The author argued that while ethnic identity could provide directions for proto-diplomatic pursuits, it cannot explain its outburst at a particular juncture of history. In the contrary, proto-diplomatic activities and armed conflicts between neighbouring communities can be explained more consistently and anticipated more reliably through analysis of geopolitical images that serve as foundations of nationhood for various communities.

Last presentation by Sos Avetisyan (formerly at the University of Oxford) focused on "Nagorno-Karabakh Armed Conflict and Armenia’s Post-War Democratisation". Building on the scholarly literature on the subject and using a new concept of 'elite protection pact', the author of the paper argued that Armenia’s regime endurance can be better explained through understanding how the countries Presidents were able to enforce unity among key elites in a face of popular mobilisation. It appears that leaders in Armenia were able to draw on their successful war-making and crisis management experience and claim a 'guardianship' mantle, given their access to specialised knowledge. The paper also drew on the elite and expert interviews that the author conducted during two field-work trips in Armenia.

Discussions in panel six focused on CONFLICT, RELIGION AND DOMESTIC REGIMES and were chaired by CASCADE researcher Anna Zaytseva (CEVIPOL,ULB) and discussant was another CASCADE researcher Silvia Serrano (FMSH). Murad Ismaylov (University of Cambridge) presented a paper on "State and Religion in post-Soviet Azerbaijan: The Evolution of the Engagement" in which he provided a detailed examination of the existing Islamic communities in Azerbaijan today with the focus on the dimension of accountability defining their relationship to the regime. The paper also focused on the evolution of the regime's policies towards these communities over the past two decades in order to evaluate the outcomes of the engagement. Bartłomiej Krzysztan and Marcin Rutowicz (University of Wrocław/Ilia State University) presented a co-authored paper on "Far from Sustainability and Equality: Towards Socio-Economic Analysis of Ethnic and Religious Minorities Radicalization in Georgia". The purpose of the paper was to trace and analyse internal and external cultural, social and economical factors behind the process of increasing radicalisation within some of the minority groups in Georgia (Kists, Azerbaijanis, Georgian Muslims). The paper attempted to describe already occurred and also possible future outcomes of this process. The research was based on interdisciplinary and multi-methodological analysis, including unstructured interviews and participant observation as well as analysis of legal, political and economic official state discourses towards minorities. As a result, the authors provided an in-depth map of radicalisation in Georgia and its influence on broadly understood security agendas in the country. Jean-François Ratelle (University of Ottawa) presentation focused on "Being a Salafi in the North Caucasus: Political Ethnography of Islamic Radicalization in Dagestan" . Based on a series of interviews with Salafists, government elites, local imams, and insurgents in Dagestan, Chechnya, and Kabardino-Balkaria as well as ethnographic research conducted between 2010 and 2016, this paper investigated the process of Islamic radicalization in the North Caucasus. The author put forward an argument that Islamic communities offer a way for the younger generation to contest the status quo within society and challenge the traditional societal structure of the North Caucasus. By comparing the processes of Islamic radicalisation between ordinary North Caucasians and insurgents, the paper showed that many young people have adopted radical Islamic practices in reaction to the democratic deficit in the region as well as perceiving Salafi ideology as a form of political protest against corruption and the absence of social mobility, while combatants remain driven by nationalistic and day-to-day grievances.

Irina Starodubrovskaya (Gaidar Institute for the Economic Policy, Moscow) talked about "Islamic Fundamentalism as an Ideology of Protest Movement in the North Caucasus". The author explained how protest movements in the North Caucasus are often associated with the ideology of Islamic fundamentalism. However, as this paper demonstrated, the structure of this movement is far from being simple and linear. Under this general umbrella, there are groups and structures with very different values, ideas and strategies. Some of them are apolitical; some appreciate active involvement in political life. Some consider violence as legitimate instrument of fighting for their goals, some reject involvement in violent actions. This paper explored and analysed these different positions and how they influence people's participation in elections and in civil society activities.

Day 2: The second day of the conference also opened with parallel sessions. Panel seven focused on CLEAVAGES AND COOPERATION WITHIN AND AROUND THE CAUCASUS: A MULTI-LEVEL APPROACH which featured five CASCADE researchers. The panel was chaired by Seda Gurkan (SEVIPOL, ULB) and Hrant Kostanyan (CEPS) was a discussant. Giulia Prelz Oltramonti (ULB) presented a paper on "Overlapping and Non-Overlapping Cleavages in the South Caucasus" which looked at the production and interaction of different kinds of cleavages (national, political, social, economic) in the borderlands of the South Caucasus. The author argued that if borderlands generally create “energies and opportunities arising from the contrasts and discontinuities that they both create and then police” (Jackson 2008), then it is crucial to identify and analyse the multi-dimensionality of the boundaries engendering them. CASCADE's scientific coordinator Laure Delcour (FMSH) and Samuele Dominioni (Sciences Po Paris) presented a co- authored paper on "Deep Economic Integration: An Instrument of Increased Fragmentation or Renewed Cooperation in the South Caucasus?". In this paper the authors provided initial insights into the implications of South Caucasus countries’ accession to different deep economic integration schemes – Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Georgia’s Deep and Comprehensive Free-Trade Area (DCFTA) with the EU – on intra- regional relations in the South Caucasus. The paper also inquired about the question of whether this contributed to increased regional fragmentation or opened new perspectives for cooperation between local actors in the South Caucasus. In exploring this question, the authors took a closer look at trade and economic cooperation dynamics in the South Caucasus, focusing in particular on Armenia and Georgia. Kakha Gogolashvili (GFSIS) further talked about "Georgia’s Association with the EU: Avoiding the South Caucasian Geopolitical Split". This paper aimed to demonstrate that despite existing disturbances in the South Caucasus Georgia could secure peaceful coexistence with other states in the region and find applicable formulas to turn divisions to economic benefits. The paper also touched upon questions concerning whether Georgia’s European and Euro-Atlantic endeavor would result in increased threat from Russia. Whether Georgia would be able to mitigate this threat with a higher level of engagement with the European and Euro-Atlantic partners and whether democratisation processes in Georgia would serve as an invitation for the EU to increase its engagement in the country.

Last panelist Tamar Khutsishvili (University of Jena) presented a paper on "Trade and Trade Networks in an Armenian Border Village of Pshatavan". Based on extensive ethnographic field research the author examines land privatisation and its characteristics after the collapse of the Soviet Union in this Armenian village on the border with Turkey and traces changes in attitude. Some of the questions that the author touched upon were how political situation and border policy influenced trade character in this region.

Panel eight, on the other hand featured presentations on various aspects of THE DEMOCRACY-SECURITY NEXUS IN GEORGIA. It was chaired by Yalchin Mammadov (CEVIPOL, ULB) and CASCADE's Derek Averre (University of Birmingham) acted as a discussant. Giorgi Tarkhan-Mouravi (Institute for Policy Studies, ) presented on "National Security–Democratisation Nexus and the Multiple Interpretations of National Interests in Georgia". In this paper the author explored the links between the national security and the processes of democratisation and various interpretations of national interests by political elites in the South Caucasus, with main focus on Georgia. Marion Kipiani (Freelance consultant) talked about "The Tip of the Democratisation Spear? The Role and Importance of the Georgian Armed Forces in the Context of Democratisation and European Integration". In this paper the author touched upon important questions such as the role of the Security Sector Reform (SSR) in the conceptualisation of governance assistance in the framework of the Eastern Partnership Programme. How successful has the SSR been in furthering democratic oversight over the armed forces in Georgia and sector transparency and other related questions. Mariam Pipia (Ivane Javakhishvili ) discussed "Linguistic and Value Asymmetry of Democratic and Anti-Democratic Movements in Georgia". The paper explored theoretical aspects on this topic ad showed how non-institutional practices can also play a role in creating a police order. According to the author, one can observe how some types of movements are based on anti-democratic values, implementing not the idea of equality, but being based mainly on the identity politics and promoting hierarchical perception of social order. In this paper, the author further proposed a comparative analysis of main social movements that have taken place in Georgia after the 2012 Parliamentary elections and showed linguistic differences among these different movements as well as differences in value systems supported by different NGOs, political parties and think-tanks. Oliver Reisner (Ilia State University) discussed Georgia's recent Parliamentary elections in his talk "On Challenges of Democratisation in Georgia Before and After the Parliamentary Elections of 2016". This paper concerned with the pre-election period in Georgia, discussed specifics of the election campaign, including media coverage and public opinion surveys, and the election results in order to assess the state of democracy in Georgia. The paper also provided an in-depth view of the condition of the electorate, political parties and various civic actors.

Panel nine featured papers on MIGRATION AND MOBILITIES IN AND OUT OF THE CAUCASUS. It was chaired by Firouzeh Nahavandi (CECID, ULB) and CASCADE researcher Florian Mühlfried (University of Jena) acted as a discussant. CASCADE researcher Maroussia Ferry (School for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences, Paris) presented a

9

paper on "Georgian Migration Toward Turkey: Patterns and New Developments". Drawing on ethnographical fieldwork in Georgia and Turkey with circulatory and return migrants, this paper addressed the issue of the new family patterns and changing social identities entailed by the growing and highly gendered Georgian mobility toward Turkey. The author argued that it was worthwhile examining this mobility since its flow would most likely be reinforced following the Russian economic crisis. Another CASCADE researcher Weronika Zmiejewski (University of Jena) presented a paper on "'Managing' Uncertainty: Georgian Domestic Workers in Greece". This research focused mainly on Georgian female migrants in Athens and Thessaloniki based on the author's extensive ethnographic fieldwork. As the author indicated, both, the socio- economic situation in Georgia, from what these female migrants have escaped from, and the circumstances in Greece itself since the current 'Greek crisis' have exacerbated the situation for these migrants and have created further uncertainties for them. Ritsa Zelnitskaya's (Russian Ethnographic Museum, St. Petersburg) presentation was in Russian language and focused on "Return to the Historical Homeland: Problems of Adaptation". This paper concerned the issue of repatriation of ethnic kin in Abkhazia. The author discussed the various measures taken by the de facto Abkhaz government since 1998 after the adaptation of the law on repatriation.

Panel 10 featured DEMOCRACY PROMOTION AND CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE CAUCASUS and was chaired by Ramona Coman (CEVIPOL, ULB) with Bruce Grant (New York University) as a discussant. Simon Tordjman (Sciences-Po Toulouse) presented his paper on "Misunderstanding(s) as a Condition of Possibility: The European Endowment for Democracy and Democracy Promotion in the Caucasus". Through a particular focus on the European Endowment for Democracy (EED) interventions in Armenia and Azerbaijan based on participant observation and a series of interviews conducted in Brussels and the Caucasus, this paper highlighted that misunderstanding(s) does not represent an obstacle to the operationalisation of the EU democracy support policy. The author argues that on the contrary, it is the very condition of possibility for its existence. Murad Nasibov (Eurasia Partnership Foundation, Baku) presented a co-authored paper (with Laurent Vinatier) on "Russia as a Role Model in Reconstructing “West” and “Civil Society:” The Case of Azerbaijan". The authors aimed to explore the role played by Russia in the reconstruction of the understanding of the concept of the 'West' in the case of Azerbaijan and its repercussions for democratic forces (political groups and civil society organisations) which are, in the new discourse, perceived as representation of the 'West' in internal realm of politics, and democratisation, in general. In particular, the focus of the paper was on the introduction of a new discourse on civil society organisations in Azerbaijan and its realisation in practice. CASCADE researcher Huseyn Aliyev (currently at University of Oxford) presented a paper "Towards 'Uncivil' Society? Informality and Civil Society in Georgia" (co-author Tatia Chikhladze). In this study authors explored the uneasy relationship between formal civil society and the informal sphere in the South Caucasus and in Georgia in particular. They presented an argument that that scholars and policy-makers alike need to pay closer attention to how informal

10

institutions, as well as their semi-formal equivalents, regardless of their non-civil nature, often become part of the civil sector in the context of developing countries. Informal patronage networks, radical movements and extremist organisations often pose as civil society organisations, functioning as a 'dark' side of NGOisation in post-communist countries. The last panel 11 - THE CAUCASUS IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE - as the title suggests, tried to put the region in comparative perspective. it was chaired by Artem Remizov (CEVIPOL, ULB) and discussant was Bruno Coppieters (Vrije Universiteit Brussel). Nino Kemoklidze (University of Birmingham), Tatyana Malyarenko (currently at Johns Hopkins University, US) and Stefan Wolff (University of Birmingham) presented a joint paper on "In the Crosshairs of Great Powers? Linkage, Leverage and Protracted Transitions in Weak States". In this paper authors take as their starting point Levitsky and Way’s analysis of how linkage and leverage have accounted for the success or failure of transitions to democracy in different regions of the world, in this case in Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. These three countries have been pulled in different directions—east, towards Russia, and west, towards the EU—as a result of both the linkages that their societies have and the leverage that Moscow and Brussels can exercise. While these countries could simply be considered pawns in the larger game of these competing geopolitical projects, as the authors argue, domestic factors significantly shape eventual outcomes and in turn influence the strategies and policies of Moscow and Brussels respectively. Ryhor Nizhikau (University of Tartu, Estonia) presented a co-authored paper (with Amiran Kavadze) on "External Involvement in Post-Soviet Space: Comparing the Reform Trajectories in Belarus and Georgia". In this paper the authors compare and critically look arguably at the two most prominent state-building projects in the former Soviet Union and the role of external actors in them: Belarus and Georgia. Starting from the underlying assumption in the literature and policy making, which often presents the domestic trajectories in these cases from the opposing perspectives, this paper focuses on some of the similarities between these two projects. Sofie Bedford (UCRS, Uppsala University, Sweden) also presented a co-authored paper (with Laurent Vinatier) on "Resisting the Irresistible: 'Failed' Opposition in Azerbaijan and Belarus Revisited". Building on the Belarusian and Azerbaijani cases, the authors argued that oppositional actors are maintained in a ‘ghetto’, often virtual, tightly managed by the ruling authorities, who exert monopolistic control over civic activities. As a result, oppositional actors adapt to the restricted conditions – accepting a certain level of dependency. They thus develop various tactics to engage with the outside, striving to reduce the ghetto walls. To this end the paper proposes a typology of what the authors call oppositional ‘resistance models’ – electoral, medial, lobbyist and educational.
