Recent research on the geopolitics of the South Caucasus focuses either on interstate relations among Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia or on each of regional actor's (Russia, Turkey and Iran) ties with the region's one or all three states. Little attempt has been made to see the region's shifting geopolitical importance from a global perspective: growing US-China rivalry and shifting balance of power in Eurasia; recalibration of the US' military and diplomatic vision in western Eurasia to adjust to the Chinese challenge. The book argues, from a theoretical point of view, that the increased competition in the region fits into the global pattern of unfolding great power competition, when military and economic calculations drive regional powers to increase their influence on immediate neighborhoods sidelining the collective West from the negotiating table and the emerging new security architecture. Emil Avdaliani is Professor of International Relatios at European University, Tbilisi, Georgia and the head of Middle East Studies at Geocase. He is also columnist at CEPA, RUSI, Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, and Georgia Today. 001449112 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001449112 650_0 $$aGeopolitics$$zCaucasus, South. 001449112 650_0 $$aWorld politics$$y1989- 001449112 651_0 $$aCaucasus, South$$xForeign relations$$y1991- 001449112 651_0 $$aCaucasus, South$$xPolitics and government$$y1991- 001449112 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449112 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAvdaliani, Emil, author.$$tNew world order and small regions$$z9789811940361$$w(OCoLC)1338678022 001449112 852__ $$bebk 001449112 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-19-4037-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449112 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449112$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449112 980__ $$aBIB 001449112 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449112 982__ $$aEbook 001449112 983__ $$aOnline 001449112 994__ $$a92$$bISE
