"Establishment of Political Parties in Georgia (1988–1992)"

Oliver's answer seems best and most precise, but if you are looking for something more vague, "conjunction" is awkward usage.

If anything, you could say "at the turn of the 1990s"; we don't talk about the turn of decades as often as we do the "turn of the century" but it's as valid and easily understandable.
