Read a new book about Caucasus

Original: Read a new book about Caucasus

Many western scholars complaint the lack of good scholarly works on the South Caucasus region. However, one recent book seems to have a chance  to contribute for the better understanding of contemporary Caucasus, - "The Ghost of Freedom: A History of the Caucasus" By Charles King. This book provides an analysis of the region's turbulent history since the late 18th century; offers exploration of how the Caucasus has been imagined by outsiders and gives an overview of contemporary conflicts and developments in the region.
Before buying this book you can read a book review written by Nina Caspersen who is a lecturer in politics and international relations, Lancaster University, and the author of several art ach the sky, where continents meet, where empires used to intersect and where a multitude of languages mix. It is an area of great strategic importance, and the unresolved conflicts in Chechnya, Nagorno-Karabakh and Abkhazia have kept the Caucasus on the international agenda. Yet very little is known or understood about this region, and Charles King's enthralling exploration of the history of the Caucasus fills an important gap. As the publisher points out, this is the first general history of the Caucasus in English. Its appeal is further enhanced by its immense readability; I would even characterise it as a page-turner, which is rare praise indeed for a scholarly work. The Ghost of Freedom is beautifully written and seamlessly combines personal anecdotes, literary quotes and thorough research.

The central theme of the book is the search for the "elusive ghost of freedom", which has often been the driving force for the peoples of the Caucasus as well as for the outsiders wh />

Tbilisi is Speaking!!!

Original: Tbilisi is Speaking!!!

So,
I am finally back home to Georgia for holidays .... and some research work as well....
Going back to Tbilisi always brings me tons of emotions and special feelings, but recently I discovered there is one new type of feeling inside me: I started observing and comparing people with others I've met outside of Georgia and try to make conclusions, some kind of game of analyzing post-communist nations, not only in political sense but in everyday life level as well. Sometimes asking yourself what would Ukrainian or Armenian would say in this case and why?! Sometimes (when in transport) I am getting addicted to this game so much that I just pass by my destination. I want to know them: Georgians, Armenians, Azerbaijanians, other caucasians, Ukrainians, Russians..... This region is just fascinating, so much diverse, interesting, breathtaking, deep, unimaginably beautiful and troubles

Georgia's Military Has Long Way to Go in Modernization, U.S. Report Finds - NYTimes.com: "The Georgian military, which was routed in August during a brief war with Russia, suffers from widespread mismanagement and unqualified leadership, and is in need of extensive reforms to become a modern fighting force, according to a classified Pentagon assessment conducted this fall."

After years of provocations by Georgia and Russia alike, Georgia launched an attack in August against the separatist enclave of South Ossetia. The attack was stymied by a large-scale Russian invasion and the defeat of the Georgian Army on its home soil.

...Eduard Kokoity, the n Washington said that the assessment had found significant shortcomings, and that Georgia and its Western supporters would have to decide how to proceed.

"We did an honest job," the officials said. "And we said to them, 'You should know you need to make some changes if you want to have a professional military force.' "
