The Changing Perspectives and New Geopolitics Of The Caucasus In The 21st Century Astana Yayınları

The change of the geopolitical realities and dynamics, the latest regional developments and the emergence of a new perception of security due to the new situation in Karabakh have changed current perspectives in the South Caucasus region. This book will provide a comprehensive introduction for students, academics, media representatives, business persons and those who are interested in the region. It will guide you through in a very readable and engaging style as it covers all the salient points and issues of the North Caucasus (the authonomous republics) succinctly and the South Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia) in detail.

After the last development and Russian direct involvement in the Karabakh issue, the world`s attention has focused increasingly on the Caucasus region. Thus, The Changing Perspectives And ‘New` Geopolitics Of The Caucasus In The 21st Century book will be an excellent introduction to the complexities of a little-known the Caucasus region and make a significant contribution to the understanding of fundamental issues of the region.

As the editors, we would like to dedicate this book to the heroic Azerbaijani soldiers who were martyred during the struggle for the liberation of the Karabakh lands from the Armenian occupation.
