'This volume, edited by Ms Jafalian, with contributions by experts from a variety of countries is currently probably the very best book on security and its perceptions in the South Caucasus.' Gerard Chaliand, Strategist, author of The Art of War in World History 'The interplay of local conflicts with the strategies of regional powers in the South Caucasus was dramatically confirmed by the Russia-Georgia war in 2008. This broad-ranging, timely volume offers scholars of European security and the post-Soviet states a valuable reappraisal of how the risks of security trends in the South Caucasus are balanced by opportunities for wider international cooperation.' Roy Allison, London School of Economics, UK 'The volume offers a wealth of up-to-date and insightful regional views on security in the South Caucasus. As such, it is invaluable for policy-makers, experts and academics interested in the subject.' International Affairs 'Jafalian's edited volume is currently one of the most complete and comprehensive contributions to understanding contemporary South Caucasus dynamics. The book presents a series of short essays, which are easily readable, and is a good source of first-hand information for those looking to become familiarised with or update information on the South Caucasus. The authors have extensive knowledge of the region, having been engaged in political analysis for the most part of the last 20 years of independence of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, with backgrounds ranging from policy makers, activists and researchers from the Caucasus and neighbouring countries, to established scholars... the volume offers a valuable contribution to the slim academic literature on the South Caucasus, providing first-hand information, which will undoubtedly be referred to by scholars and practitioners dealing with the region.' Europe-Asia Studies 'Reassessing Security in the South Caucasus: Regional Conflicts and Transformation edited by Annie Jafalian is a unique volume of pragmatic and scholastic articles by local and regional experts. ... the volume clearly and systematically notes that despite certain political and historical events and developments, the security of the South Caucasus is still volatile and the region remains with contrasting priorities and policies. The value of the study is also in the fact that it seeks to denote the security threats which have so far been neglected.' European Union Foreign Affairs Journal
