Studies of the Caucasus in the West have been dominated by issues
of security and ethnic conflict based on Eurocentric theoretical
paradigms. By contrast, this volume offers contributions from
researchers working within a range of disciplines, including
history, social anthropology, sociology and cultural studies as
well as international relations and security studies. Some of the
contributions demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the region from
'inside', while others explore the issues within a wider Eurasian
and global perspective. The volume examines the politically-defined
division of the region into the North and South Caucasus, the
evolution of national identity and citizenship, and the role of the
NGOs in the development of civil society in the post-Soviet period.
Its content demonstrates the advantages of an area studies
inter-disciplinary approach to the study of the region and the
importance of collaboration between Western and local researchers.
It highlights the importance of the Caucasus as a geographical,
political and civilisational entity and examines the historical,
cultural, political, religious and psychological factors behind the
region's particular susceptibility to territorial and
ethno-religious conflict. The book will be of benefit to scholars
and students researching the Caucasus, Russia and the post-Soviet
space. It will also appeal to policy-makers, NGO activists,
journalists and a wider audience interested in this fascinating
region. This book was published as a special issue of Europe-Asia
Studies.
