After the collapse of the Soviet Union the Caucasus was wracked by
ethnic and separatist violence as the peoples of the region
struggled for self-determination. Vicken Cheterian, who spent many
years as a reporter and analyst covering the region's conflicts,
asks why nationalism emerged as a dominant political current, and
why, of the many nationalist movements that emerged, some led to
violence while others did not. He explains also why minority
rebellions were victorious against larger armies, in mountainous
Karabakh, Abkhazia, and in the first war of Chechnya, and discusses
the ongoing instability and armed resistance in the North Caucasus.
He concludes his book by examining chapters the great power
competition between Russia, the US, and the EU over the oil and gas
resources of the Caspian region.
