In this talk Prof. Johnson examines patterns of migration and violence in Abkhazia during the 1992-1994 Georgian civil war to better understand whether partitioning a country – creating separate homeland states – can help end civil wars. This is a chapter from a recently published book on partition that tests and develops theories related to war termination.

Carter holds a PhD in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland, College Park (USA) and an MSc from the London School of Economics (UK). Carter teaches courses on political violence and civil wars and his research has been published in International Security, World Politics, and Europe-Asia Studies; his non-academic work has been published in the Washington Post and by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, among others.
