Abstract: We investigate the non-perturbative structure of two planar $Z_{p}imes{Z}_p$ lattice gauge models and discuss their relevance to two-dimensional condensed matter systems and Josephson junction arrays. Both models involve two compact U(1) gauge fields with Chern-Simons interactions, which break the symmetry down to $Z_{p}imes{Z}_p$. By identifying the relevant topological excitations (instantons) and their interactions we determine the phase structure of the models. Our results match observed quantum phase transitions in Josephson junction arrays and suggest also the possibility of {it oblique confining ground states} corresponding to quantum Hall regimes for either charges or vortices.
