Following the disintegration of the Soviet Union in December 1991, the three Transcaucasian states of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia became independent after nearly two centuries of Tsarist and Soviet imperial rule. Rather than ushering in a period of economic reconstruction and social and political democratisation, however, official independence has plunged the region into internal turmoil. The Transcaucasus has also been the scene of fierce rivalries among regional and international actors seeking economic advantages and political influence. The main contender for regional supremacy has been Russia, which continues to view these countries as vital to its own security and within the purview of its special zone of influence. The West too attaches considerable strategic and economic significiance to the region, as a consequence of its vast oil and gas reserves and its proximity to the Persian Gulf and the Middle East, to Turkey and the Black Sea region and to Central Asia. Turkey and Iran have also been deeply engaged in the game of influence in the Transcaucasus. In this monograph, Shireen T. Hunter traces the evolution of events in the Transcaucasus since early 1987, and analyses the principal factors that have determined the direction of developments in the region. In order to make better sense of recent events, she also provides an historical and cultural overview of the region and discusses their current relevance. The process of transition in these countries is not over yet and, in Ms. Hunter's assessment, most of the recent changes are far from irreversible. She argues that the West still has the time and the ability to reassess its past policies and revise them in a way so as to secure its principal objectives and correct some of its past mistakes.

"Iran's Foreign Policy in the Post-Soviet Era: Resisting the New International Order" provides the first truly comprehensive, in-depth survey of Iranian foreign policy, issue by issue and country by country, since the Islamic Revolution. To help readers understand both the what and the why of Iran's role in the world and formulate useful responses to that role, the author provides a detailed analysis of Iranian foreign policy in all its dimensions. The first part of the book places Iranian actions, particularly its relations with the United States and other key players, within the context of the emerging international system, while also showing how domestic developments impact foreign policy. The second part surveys Iranian relations with specific actors, notably the United States and Russia, and with key regions, including Europe, Central Asia, the Arab world, Latin America, and Africa. Providing an antidote to existing preconceptions, this incisive analysis lays an analytically sound basis for shaping policies toward Iran-policies with potentially high payoff in terms of regional security and stability.

This timely book offers an accessible introduction to religion in international affairs. Shireen T. Hunter highlights the growing importance of religion in politics and analyzes its nature, role, and significance. She places the question of religion's impact on global affairs in the broader context of state and nonstate actors, weighing the factors that most affect their actions. Through the lens of three compelling and distinctive case studies--Russia's response to the Yugoslav crisis, Turkey's reaction to the Bosnian war, and Europe's policy toward Turkish membership in the EU--Hunter demonstrates that religion increasingly shapes international affairs in significant and diverse ways. Her book is essential reading for anyone needing a better understanding of why and, more important, how, religion influences the behavior of international actors and thus the character of world politics. --
