This comprehensive exploration of the international environment
examines not only traditional political-military concerns but also
economic, ethnic, and environmental issues and the role of crime,
terrorism, the drug trade, and migration in the security
environment of Russia and its neighbours to the south. This
approach takes account of both the internal and external aspects of
security problems and their interplay. The participation of
international authors facilitates the consideration of each problem
from all relevant points of view.
Since the early 1990s, the southern Caucasus and its larger
neighbourhood, the Black Sea region, have experienced deep and
sometimes painful transformations, including bloody conflicts. They
have also become an arena of geopolitical and geoeconomic
competition between great powers. This has attracted growing
attention from social scientists. In this volume, authors from
universities in Europe, the United States and the southern Caucasus
focus on several of the most topical problems of the region,
particularly how nascent states and societies grapple with the
results of unresolved ethno-territorial conflicts and how they try
to construct new civil societies from the cultural mosaic that they
inherited from their Soviet past. How do elements of democracy and
autocracy combine in the political regimes of the new states? Can
the West have an effect on their internal development and, if so,
how? How do the rich mineral resources of the Caspian region
influence the development of the region's economies and define the
geopolitical standing of these countries?
