This issue of the Caucasus Analytical Digest attempts to put the focus on politics within the de facto states, placing these unrecognised polities at the centre rather than the periphery. Donnacha Ó Beacháin introduces the dynamics of electoral politics within Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh; Giorgio Comai examines how these regimes interact with the outside world. Finally, Gerard Toal and John O’Loughlin look at public opinion within these three cases to try to understand the views and outlooks of people living there.
