"Conflict Resolution through Democracy Promotion? The Role of the OSCE in Georgia"by Pamela Jawad, published in the June 2008 issue of the scientific journal "Democratization":
The chart visualises the development of the intra-Georgian conflicts. The 1 to 5 scale is indicating the intensity of the conflict:
I think, we could continue the chart to an unpleasant level for 2008.
- 5 = war
- 4 = severe crisis
- 3 = crisis (only sporadic incidents of violent conflict conduct)
- 2 = manifest conflict (non-violent)
- 1 = latent conflict.

Hmm, interesting piece. I should get to read it at some point, but what is really the puzzle here? Exploring whether ONE international organization has an effect on peace/conflict resolution?
From Jawad's abstract, it sounds that OSCE is described as having zero-to-little effect on conflict resolution.
That is also pretty much the conclusion of the text, yes.
In fact, I did not discover anything particular interesting or puzzling. This is why I just presented the chart, which at least is a very nice visualisation of the conflict over the years.
