1. 1. The Caucasus

   An Introduction

   

   A lucid, tightly written survey of the Caucasus that traces the region’s complex history from imperial contest and Soviet rule to the chaotic 1990s and the persistent post‑Soviet tensions. It shows how ethnic diversity, weak state institutions, competing nationalisms and contested borders produced wars in Nagorno‑Karabakh, Chechnya, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, combining on‑the‑ground reporting with diplomatic and historical analysis. The book situates these struggles within the wider geopolitical rivalry involving Russia, Turkey, Iran and Western powers and examines the roles of energy routes, local politics and international mediation in shaping the region’s uncertain prospects for stability.
