科索沃的“标准优先于地位”政策重新点燃了其他事实上的国家独立的希望，并促使当局强调他们建立有效民主机构的能力。对阿布哈兹和纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫随之进行的国家建设和民主化进程的分析表明，这些实体不应仅仅被视为犯罪化的荒地。两国内部政治的重大变化可能对陷入僵局的谈判产生积极影响，这些进程为建设性接触提供了途径。
The ‘standards before status’ policy for Kosovo has reignited hopes for independence in other de facto states and has led the authorities to emphasise their ability to create effective, democratic institutions. Analysis of the accompanying processes of state-building and democratisation in Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh suggests that these entities should not be regarded merely as criminalised badlands. Significant changes in their internal politics could have a positive impact on the stalled talks, and these processes provide an avenue for constructive engagement.
