商品簡介
Peiman examines the failure of the eight countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia to address their economic problems since independence has created grounds for the outbreak of violent intra- and inter-state conflicts in their regions. Such conflicts could escalate to regional wars, which could drag in Iran, Turkey, Russia, China, and the United States, with implications for regional and international security.
