Grigoryan’s dissertation, which he completed and defended in 2008, examines the role of third parties in state-minority conflicts.   It focused in particular on the escalatory pressures generated by certain third party actions and threats.  Grigoryan’s current projects include a study of federal constitutions and a study of the claim that humanitarian interventions in the post-Cold War era provide evidence for a fundamental normative shift in international politics.  He is also revising the dissertation for publication as a book.
