Modern Armenia, People, Nation, State by George J. Libaridian (hardcover)

Modern Armenia reviews Armenian politics and political thinking from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, and the evolution of Armenians from peoplehood to statehood. The chapters of this book analyze the internal dynamics of the revolutionary movement, the genocide, the Armenian Diaspora, its recovered statehood and recent independence, as well as the relationship of these developments to political processes in the Ottoman/Turkish, Russian, and Western states. It also explores current dilemmas and future choices independent Armenia faces today.

The book concludes with an overview of Armenia and Armenians in the first two decades of the second independence, including the rebirth of independent Armenia, its foreign and security policy options, its position within the region, and its relations with the Diaspora.
