Abstract

Dominée tour à tour par les Perses, les Romains, les Byzantins, les Arabes, les Mongols, les Ottomans, annexée par le tsar Paul Ier en 1800, la Géorgie a, au fil de son histoire, composé avec tous ces envahisseurs pour défendre vaille que vaille une indépendance enfin arrachée en 1991. Une histoire à rebonds qui connaît son âge d'or sous le règne fastueux de la reine Thamar au XIIe siècle. A sa mort, le royaume de Géorgie tombe entre les mains de ses voisins perses et turcs. Plus tard, ce sont les tsars qui s'emparent de ce royaume de cocagne. Débute alors une relation à la vie à la mort entre ces deux peuples : Staline, Beria et Chévardnadzé sont tous trois géorgiens. Enclavée au cœur du Caucase, la Géorgie a conservé de son passé des réflexes claniques qui en font une véritable poudrière, d'autant qu'elle s'impose désormais comme une région stratégique traversée par un oléoduc et un gazoduc indispensables pour les Occidentaux : ainsi s'expliquent en partie les enjeux de la guerre russo-géorgienne de l'été 2008. On comprend mieux alors ce dossier brûlant pour l'Europe et les Etats-Unis, tout en découvrant un peuple attachant, prêt à tout pour défendre un pays magnifique et envoûtant.

Abstract

After the invention of a national script, c.400 AD, Armenians rapidly developed their own literary forms, drawing on foreign texts as well as their own traditions. Historical writing is the most original genre in classical and medieval Armenian literature. Greek works (including the Chronicle of Eusebius, now lost in Greek but preserved in Armenian) constituted the major part of translated histories. But in the thirteenth century the extensice Chronicle of the Syrian Patriarch Michael and the first part of the Georgian chronicles were adapted for an Armenian readership. The collection known as the `Georgian Chronicles' was finally codified in the eighteenth century and represents only a small part of Georgian historical writing. The thirteenth century Armenian version is in fact the earliest attestation of this growing corpus of texts, predating all extant Georgian manuscripts of it. This book presents the two texts, Georgian and Armenian, in English translation for the first time. The Introduction and Commentary draw attention to the ways in which the unknown Armenian translator changed his original material in a pro-Armenian fashion. His rendering became the standard source for early Georgian history used by later Armenian historians. The book includes a useful overview of the background to the chronicles, the history and culture of Christian Georgia and Armenia, and their respective languages and literature.

Abstract

"The breakup of the U.S.S.R. was unexpected and unexpectedly peaceful. Though a third of the new states fell prey to violent civil conflict, anarchy on the post-Soviet periphery, when it occurred, was quickly cauterized. This book argues that this outcome had nothing to do with security guarantees by Russia or the United Nations and everything to do with local innovation by ruthless warlords, who competed and colluded in a high-risk coalition formation game. Drawing on a structured comparison of Georgian and Tajik militia members, the book combines rich comparative data with formal modeling, treating the post-Soviet space as an extraordinary laboratory to observe the limits of great powers' efforts to shape domestic institutions in weak states"--

Abstract

Georgia emerged from the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991 with the promise of swift economic and democratic reform. But that promise remains unfulfilled. Economic collapse, secessionist challenges, civil war and the failure to escape the legacy of Soviet rule - culminating in the 2008 war with Russia - characterise a two-decade struggle to establish democratic institutions and consolidate statehood. Here, Stephen Jones critically analyses Georgia's recent political and economic development, illustrating what its 'transition' has meant, not just for the state, but for its citizens as well. An authoritative and commanding exploration of Georgia since independence, this is essential for those interested in the post-Soviet world.
