C&C member Eduard Abrahamyan, Research Fellow at the Institute for Security Analysis and Teaching Fellow in the Institute of Risk and Disaster Reduction at UCL, has published his first monograph, Small States, Russia and the West: Polarity, Constellations and Heterogeneity in the Geopolitics of the Caucasus (Routledge). This book offers an in-depth investigation of the contemporary geopolitics of the Caucasus through a multi-level analysis of regional political transformations. It delves into the contrasting foreign policies of small states in the Caucasus in response to the Russian interventions in Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, which marked Russia's "return" as an order-forming power, challenging the agenda of Euro-Atlantic integration. This book enriches the emerging discourse on the regional complexities of the multipolar world order with multifaceted interpretations of politics and decision-making through its nuanced regional focus and innovative theoretical grounding. It contributes significantly to International Relations theory, geopolitics, small-states and area studies, offering invaluable insights into small-state foreign policy dynamics in the age of rising confrontational multipolarity. His new book is also on Amazon and Waterstones.
