Nikolaus Von Twickel Beyond Frozen Conflict sku-780590580

Beyond Frozen Conflict is a World Political Books hardcover by Nikolaus Von Twickel, sku-780590580. It examines five separatist conflicts in post-Soviet Eastern Europe: Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, Transnistria in Moldova, Nagorny Karabakh contested by Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Ukraine's Donbas.

The first four date to around the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991-2 and became known as frozen conflicts. In 2014, large parts of Donetsk and Luhansk separated violently from Kyiv, with Russia's support for hybrid warfare a crucial factor and a reported cost of 13,000 lives so far. The book describes these conflicts as Europe's biggest stability and security risk.

It presents an up-to-date, analytically consistent account of all five and systematically explores possible future scenarios for officials, diplomats, scholars and general readers.
