A retrospective of the 20 years of independence experienced by the countries of the South Caucasus clearly demonstrates the difficulties involved in building a state and restoring an economy after more than 70 years of Soviet rule. Each one of the three post-Soviet republics of the South Caucasus – Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia – has chosen its own path of development; each is developing its own particular model of political, economic and socio-cultural transformation. At the same time, the security of the Caucasus region is in a state of profound flux, as is the security of each of the three states that comprise the South Caucasus. This volume presents research and insightful analysis of the aforementioned trends carried out by a collection of outstanding local and foreign experts from the areas of international relations, political science, economics and sociology.
