Beskrivning

The Armenian–Azerbaijani conflict for control of the mountainous territory of Nagorny Karabakh is the longest-running dispute in post-Soviet Eurasia. Laurence Broers shows how more than 20 years of dynamic territorial politics, shifting power relations, international diffusion and unsuccessful mediation efforts have contributed to the resilience of this stubbornly unresolved dispute. Looking beyond tabloid tropes of ‘frozen conflict’ or ‘Russian land-grab’, Broers unpacks the unresolved territorial issues of the 1990s and the strategic rivalry that has built up around them since.

Recensioner i media

Without any doubt, Laurence Broers is one of our foremost experts on the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorny Karabakh. Broers is a scholar-practitioner who has worked for over a decade for the London-based peacebuilding organization Conciliation Resources, which for years has provided some of the best analysis of this protracted conflict. It was exciting to learn that Broers finally amalgamated his years-long experience in a book aptly titled Armenia and Azerbaijan. Anatomy of a Rivalry. The book does not disappoint: This is a superb book on the topic – nuanced, empirically rich and conceptually convincing...It is essential and highly recommended reading for everyone interested in this conflict. What’s more, it is also a very rewarding read for anyone interested in understanding protracted conflicts and how we should analyse them.
