The author examines the historiography and politics of the conflict, and the historical, territorial and ethnic dimensions which contributed to the dynamics of the war. The impact of Soviet policies and structures are also included, pinpointing how they contributed to the development of nationalism and the maintenance of national identities. The book firstly explores the historical development of the Armenian and Azerbaijani national identities and the overlapping claims to the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The author goes on to assess the historical link between ethnicity and territorial location as sources of ethnic identification and conflict."--Cover. -- ISBN : 978-1-138-27903-2 (brožováno). *2Post-Soviet politics0 etnická skupina * nacionalismus * etnický spor * válka * Kavkazské země * Rusko * 20. století
