About Book

This book provides a detailed examination of ethnopolitical conflicts in the Caucasus region, specifically the Nagorno-Karabakh, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia wars. Emil Souleimanov revisits these conflicts, offering a historical, political, and socio-cultural perspective on the causes and consequences of these wars. The book critically analyzes the role of nationalism, ethnic identity, and geopolitical interests in fueling these disputes, while also addressing failed peace negotiations and the challenges of conflict resolution. Souleimanov’s work is particularly insightful in explaining why ethnic conflicts in the Caucasus remain unresolved despite international interventions and peace initiatives. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, unresolved ethnic tensions in Eastern Europe, and ongoing territorial disputes in various regions make this book highly relevant today. It offers lessons on how ethnopolitical conflicts develop, escalate, and persist, which is crucial for policymakers and peacebuilders working on modern conflict resolution strategies. This book is a critical resource for understanding the complexities of ethnopolitical conflicts and their implications for global peace efforts. It aligns well with peace studies, conflict resolution strategies, and post-war rehabilitation
