  • What Is behind the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict?

On September 27, 2020, the long-standing conflict over the contested territory of Nagorno-Karabakh reignited, quickly escalating to all-out war with significant civilian casualties. Drawing on unique public opinion survey data from Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh in February 2020, Conflict & Change’s Prof. Kristin M. Bakke—with her collaborators Prof. John O’Loughlin at the University of Colorado and Prof. Gerard Toal at Virginia Tech—reports on the issues at the heart of this conflict, and what the people living in this contested territory want, in the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage (October 2) and in The Conversation (October 12).
