Unlocking the Economic Benefits of Peace and Building Local Community Resilience in the South Caucasus: A joint policy paper for Armenia and Azerbaijan
Diclaimer: This content was not edited by the German Council on Foreign relations (DGAP).
This policy brief presents four interconnected policy areas to foster sustainable peace and cooperation between Armenia and Azerbaijan. They include (1) building multi-layered institutional dialogue mechanisms, (2) prioritising the needs of densely populated border areas in border-making efforts, (3) restoring bilateral and regional connectivity lines, and (4) connecting multiple layers of society to advance reconciliation.
These policy options address critical challenges and opportunities, focusing on inclusive and human-centered strategies. Together, they aim to promote trust and long-term stability, by establishing platforms for government representatives, experts, and civil society organisations to collaborate through technical and economic communication channels. The paper covers a wide range of topics, from economic development to day-to-day conflict management, and from water resource management to regional connectivity.
This policy Brief was published by "The Hague Research Institute for Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia" march 2025. Find the current affiliations of all authors in the bios within the paper.
