Timeless Turmoil
A Comparative History of the Conflicts in Kosovo, Abkhazia, and the Tskhinvali Region
About this book
Timeless Turmoil offers a comprehensive historical and comparative analysis of recent conflicts in Kosovo, Abkhazia, and the Tskhinvali region, examining their geopolitical dynamics from ancient times to the present. With a focus on post-Soviet transitions, noted Georgian international relations scholar Kakhaber Kalichava explores Russia's role in shaping these conflicts, particularly how Russia has strategically exploited them to maintain influence in post-Soviet space. The book also assesses Western recognition of Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008 and how it has been leveraged by Russia to support its narrative of the recent Georgian conflicts. As the first book to locate comparisons of Kosovo and Georgia's
breakaway regions, Timeless Turmoil reveals both shared and distinct characteristics of those conflicts, fresh insights into the geopolitical landscape of the Balkans and the Caucasus, and a balanced and scholarly perspective on some of the most significant conflicts of our era.
