Annotation
Since the ‘long nineteenth century’, the peoples, nationalities, and nations in the Caucasus region – comprising the North Caucasus, the small republics along the southern border of the Russian Federation, and the South Caucasus, with the nation-states of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia adjacent to it – have shared a history of tsarist and Soviet Russian occupation, control, and co-optation, interethnic conflict and cooperation, as well as social (under)development. Starting with a conceptual discussion of the region, its linguistic, ethnic, and cultural diversity, and its pre-tsarist political history, this course traces the political, economic, and cultural processes the North and South Caucasus have undergone during the tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods, underscoring the factors, discourses, and legacies that have shaped its past, still impact its present, and potentially orient its future.
