PUBL.- Contrasts and Solutions in the Caucasus
PUBLICATION- Contrasts and Solutions in the Caucasus, Yurukel & Hoeiris, eds.
In March 1996, an international conference was held at the University
of Aarhus, Denmark, under the title "Contrasts and Solutions in the
Caucasus." This was the third in a series of conferences organized
under the heading "Aarhus Debates: The Focal Issues of the World."
The previous conferences were "The Balkan War in a global - local
Perspective." "The Politics of the Great Powers or Ethnic Contrasts?"
The results of these are published in Sefa Martin Yurukel (ed): Krigen
paa Balkan/ The Balkan War, The Faculty of Arts Press, University of
Aarhus 1995; and Contradictions in the Middle East. A token of
National or Religious Identifications in a local - Global Perspective
resulting in the publication Ole Hoeiris and Sefa Yurukel (eds.):
Contrasts and Solutions in the Middle East. Aarhus University Press
1997.
As an extension of the Caucasus conference it was also decided to
publish a book containing contributions made at the conference itself
and supplemented with commentaries by experts and politicians with
knowledge of and influence in the region and its many conflicting
ethnic groups and nations. The first part of the book concerns the whole
Caucasian region in a historical perspective with special attention to its
geopolitical importance and its relations to the former Soviet Union and
the present Russian Federation. This is followed by articles analysing
the ethnical and national problems in North Caucasus and
Transcaucasus, succeeded by discussions on the most important
conflicts in the different nations and regions: Abkhazia, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Crimea, Nagorno-Karabakh and Chechenia.
The intention is to make available the many conflicting and
informative viewpoints, not only to a public audience, but also to the
various parties involved in the conflicts themselves. In this sense we
hope that the book will be of some practical application in an
educational context within a range of subjects dealing with the
conditions in the region.
