I’m excited to announce that my journal article on triadic competition between Russia, Georgia and Abkhazia and the implications for state building in Abkhazia is now published in the latest special
issue of @CaucasusSurvey

Worth checking out this double special issue in the latest @CaucasusSurvey edition! This introduction to all the contributions may be a good starting point.

Special thanks also to my PhD supervisor @TomilaLankina for supporting me unwaveringly throughout my PhD and inspiring the theoretical framework of my thesis and this article.
