Summary/Abstract: The current article presents an overview of the European Union’s conflict settlement mechanisms in Armenia, Georgia and Moldova and discusses their impact on these countries’ Europeanisation in the framework of the Eastern Partnership. A comparative analysis suggests that the EU’s conflict resolution capacity is largely dependent on the significance attached to conflict by the partner countries and the applicability of the EU’s soft power mechanisms.
