This article contributes to the literature on the EU’s conflict resolution efforts in general, and in the context of Georgia, in particular. First, it identifies a dissonance between the EU’s strong interest in the resolution of the Conflicts, its firm commitment to such resolution and its long-standing, engagement with a view to promoting such resolution, and its actual, ineffectual contribution to achieving that goal. Second, it analyses various factors which contribute to this ineffectiveness.
