With 30 years having passed since Central Asia and the South
Caucasus emerged on the international stage, a new approach to
understanding its contemporary dynamics is required. This volume
argues for a multidimensional analysis of international, regional,
and domestic cooperation and conflicts in the region. The authors
analyze foreign policies of great powers such as Russia, China,
U.S., EU, Japan, and Iran toward this part of the world. The work
looks at regional issues and regionalism, including the Eurasian
Union and the Belt and Road Initiative. A series of chapters study
domestic processes ranging from clan politics, identity
construction, the media, to non-state actors. The publication
applies theoretical pluralism and utilizes realism, liberalism,
constructivism, and FPA.
This book analyzes current security challenges in Asia (understood
in its broader Indo-Pacific sense) with the aim of capturing the
major shifts in the balance of power involving regional actors.
Through the lenses of IR theory, this book seeks to provide
insights into the consequences of the transition of power from the
United States to China. The growing power of China and its impact
on both neighboring countries and the international system as a
whole, as well as its reception by the United States, have been of
key importance to the development of security and international
studies. By presenting the case studies of regional security
challenges from a multidimensional perspective, this book analyzes
both the stages of the maturity of powers and their satisfaction
within the existing system.
This book focuses on the problem of regionalism, the crucial
phenomenon in international relations at the turn of the 20th and
21st centuries. Regionalism is analyzed both in terms of regional
economic and political integration, as well as regional competition
and conflict. The book is divided into three parts, based on the
functional and geographical criteria. The first part is devoted to
the theoretical setting, including brief introduction to
regionalism problems and classical theories of integration, as well
as new approaches to regionalism, which are followed by the
analysis of regions in the context of regional security complexes
concept. The second part of the book focuses on Asian and African
challenges to regionalism and the third, and final, part is devoted
to the most developed subregional order, namely the European
region.
Is the U.S. as a country still capable of finding common ground and
effective policy responses in the 21st century, or are the dividing
lines within U.S. society actually becoming too deep and too wide
to bridge, with potentially grave consequences for American social,
political as well as economic development? This book discusses
important contemporary U.S. wedge issues such as gun rights, racial
and economic inequality, the role of the state, the politics of
culture, interpretations of history and collective memory,
polarization in national politics, and factionalism in domestic and
foreign policy. It provides readers with conceptual tools to grasp
the complexity of the current processes, policy formation, and
political and social change under way in the United States.

This book addresses new problems and challenges of development in
the 21st century, trying to answer questions, how to turn nations
that are underdeveloped and torn apart by conflict into good places
to live and how to help them develop. Issues connected with
globalization, political challenges, constitutional systems as a
condition for development are addressed. Problems of
entrepreneurship in developing regions, as well as transnational
connections between countries, making them vulnerable to economic
crises are also touched upon. Finally, issues connected with
institutional design, clean energy, health service challenges, as
well as gender issues are analyzed. All those issues refer to
developing countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, as well as
Central and Eastern Europe.
This book discusses the applicability of Western International
Relations (IR) theories to Asia and Africa and the rise of
non-Western IR theories (especially in Asia), with case studies
focused on the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Sub-Saharan African
regions. Theoretically grounded studies of Asia and Africa are
still in high demand, as International Relations scholarship on and
in those regions seems underdeveloped in this regard. This is the
case both in the application of Western theories in research on
Asia and Africa, but especially IR theory-building by scholars in
both regions. The book is driven by the question, whether we need
specific Asia and Africa-oriented IR theories to describe, explain
and predict developments in regional international relations or can
we apply or adapt the so-called Western IR theories.
