A CRUCIBLE OF NATIONS: THE GEOPOLITICS OF THE CAUCASUS

By Peter Zeihan & Lauren Goodrich

Synopsis

The Caucasus region historically has served as a battleground between the empires of old, with a dense population of nationalities constantly vying for leverage over one another and their imperial would-be rulers. In the modern day, three major powers post-Soviet Russia, Islamic Iran and Republican Turkey are all rising to prominence at the same time, and regardless of their wishes, all are drawn to the border zone between them.
