Résumé : This chapter looks at the role of war economies in the protraction of conflict in Abkhazia and South Ossetia from the early 1990s to 2008. It mobilizes the existing literature on boundary activation, borderlands, sanctions and the transformation of war economies to map the complexity of the two cases, while relying on extensive fieldwork to elucidate the economies of the Abkhaz and South Ossetian protracted conflicts. As a result, it unveils some of the incentives in increasing or decreasing levels of violence and protracting or ending conflict.
