In an ever-changing geopolitical landscape, the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus are proving to be important theatres where the tides of power and influence are constantly reshaping themselves. In his compelling work „The Changing Geopolitics of Central Asia and the Caucasus” Savnte E. Cornell undertakes a careful examination of these dynamic changes.

The geopolitical environment of Central Asia and the Caucasus has changed dramatically over the past decade, with significant implications for American and European interests. Regional powers and superpowers have paid increasing attention to the region, and the states of the region themselves have developed a greater capacity to act in response to the geopolitical challenges they face. European and especially American perceptions of the region have not kept pace with these changes and need updating.

The Changing Geopolitics of Central Asia and the Caucasus is not only a comprehensive guide to understanding these complex dynamics, but also a call to recognise the importance of these regions in the context of global geopolitics.
