“The South Caucasus at the Crossroads
Conflicts, Caspian Oil and Great Power Politics” by Elkhan Nuriyev

Elkhan Nuriyev is currently Professor of Political Science at Western University in Baku, Azerbaijan.


Written by a highly respected expert in the field, the book addresses some of this little known region's most vital issues: territorial conflicts, oil and natural gas resources, geopolitical complexities and pipeline politics, as well as the successes and failures of democratic processes in the post-Soviet countries of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia. The author looks at the challenges faced by these young South Caucasian countries and examines the prospects for future peace and prosperity in the region. The "South Caucasus at the Crossroads" is essential reading for students and researchers of post-Soviet history and Caucasus studies, sociology, Caspian Sea politics, political science and international relations.
