Former Soviet Republics: New Facts on Old Ground — New RCD Publication
Authored by a group of researchers specializing in political and international affairs, the book offers a multidimensional analysis of the post-Soviet space, specifically focusing on Central Asia and the Caucasus.
The book examines these regions through strategic, political, security, cultural, and historical lenses. It explores how these "new facts" are playing out on "old ground," highlighting the enduring significance of this geography.
Spanning six chapters, the study delves into the present and future of these republics against the backdrop of intense global competition:
· US Hegemony: It analyzes the American strategy aimed at controlling the global landscape through influence in these regions.
· Russian Resurgence: It contrasts this with the strong return of Russia under President Vladimir Putin, and his efforts to restore the supremacy and influence reminiscent of the Soviet era.
This publication underscores RCD's ongoing effort to print and distribute high-quality research, studies, translations, and articles. The Center aims to support the scientific, intellectual, and cultural development of the country with professionalism and accuracy.
