Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the roots and evolutions of the Nagorno-Karabagh conflict, according to the paradigms of foreign policy analysis (decision making models) developed by the famous American political scientist, Graham T. Allison. Conclusions show that realism can no longer ensure a sufficient understanding of the international events, being more and more contested by internal governmental policies and psychological factors. Its key presumptions seem to be lost in a thought experiment that finally allows us to imagine another type of world politics. Analysts in Social Sciences call it „a complex interdependence”, the real world being therefore located somewhere between these two ideal models, namely realism and complex interdependence.
