The Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic (TDFR) was a
unique, bottom-up, and a fleeting display of political unity and
federalism among the main Armenian, Azerbaijani and Georgian
political factions between 22 April 1918, when it declared its
independence, and 26 May 1918, when it was dissolved and replaced
by the three nation-states of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
Focusing on a crucial but poorly understood moment in the modern
history of the Caucasus at the end of the First World War, this
book offers a systematic, contextually-rich, and
multi-perspectival—Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Ottoman,
German, British, American, Italian, Bolshevik, Ukrainian and North
Caucasian—account of the TDFR, drawing on contributions (with the
new material from archives in Tbilisi, Grozny, Yerevan, Baku,
Istanbul, Berlin, London, Washington D.C.) by a new generation of
historians and scholars working on the region. The book argues that
despite its month-long existence in this geopolitically volatile
region, the TDFR, with and its federative nature and the various
discussions about federalism and federation that it provoked,
continued to have an appeal for Georgians, Azerbaijanis, Armenians
as well as for the Great Powers well beyond its dissolution.
Moreover, the experience of the TDFR reifies federalism as a key
political concept in the modern history of the Caucasus. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the Caucasus Survey.
