Résumé
Les conflits gelés constituent aujourd’hui un défi majeur à la stabilité et à la sécurité internationales. Exemple typique d’un conflit gelé, le cas du Nagorno-Karabakh présente également des spécificités. Cette étude consiste en deux principaux volets. Il s’agit d’abord de circonscrire la spécificité du Nagorno-Karabakh dans le contexte plus large des conflits gelés et des États sécessionnistes de facto. L’article contribue ensuite à l’élaboration d’un cadre d’analyse plus large qui évalue les étapes menant à un conflit gelé, au vu des différentes phases de sa transformation : escalade, diffusion et intervention des tierces parties. Les conclusions de cette étude de cas mettent en relief des leçons pouvant contribuer à la mise en place de stratégies visant la prévention de l’émergence des conflits gelés.

Abstract
Frozen conflicts are today a major challenge for the international stability and security. Often cited as a classic example of a frozen conflict, Nagorno-Karabakh displays however its own particularities. The main objective of this article is two-folded: first, to situate Nagorno-Karabakh within the larger context of the frozen conflicts phenomenon and, secondly, to contribute to an explanatory framework that evaluates the preliminary stages of a frozen conflict, through the different phases of its transformation: escalation, diffusion and third-party intervention. The conclusions emphasize several findings based on this case-study that could be integrated in wider strategies aimed at preventing the emergence of frozen conflicts.
Keywords:
- frozen conflict,
- escalation,
- diffusion,
