Gerard Libaridian
-Born in the Middle East and trained in the US, Libaridian (Univ.
of Michigan, Ann Arbor) offers a unique combination of perspectives
he developed as a historian of modern Armenia and as a high
official in the government of the Armenian Republic, indeed as the
architect of its foreign policy until 1997. Some of these 13
articles are revised versions of pieces scattered in publications
not easily available; others are texts of lectures previously
unpublished. Analytically astute and knit together well, they make
up a real book, not a slapdash collection. The chapters on the
notions of nation and fatherland, liberation movements, and the
relationship between ideology and political practice will be
instructive to any student of modern history and politics, even if
the Armenian case provides the raw material of analysis...
Libaridian offers a sober assessment of the realities of being a
small country whose local entanglements have been
internationalized. Summing Up: Essential. Collections supporting
study of Armenia, the Transcaucasus, and the Middle East;
upper-division undergraduates and above.- --K. TOlOlyan, Choice -In
a refreshingly balanced analysis, [Modern Armenia] examines Armenia
and Turkey as states with clear needs and interests, and argues
that pressure from the Armenian disapora has long complicated the
efforts of the two neighbors to establish ties.- - Meline Toumani,
The Nation -I found Modern Armenia to be excellent. It is accurate,
informative, and thought-provoking.- - Edmund Herzig, professor of
Middle Eastern studies, University of Manchester and author of The
New Caucasis: Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia -Modern Armenia is a
unique work in a number of ways. Most importantly, it accounts for
the dynamics of change in Armenian society and political thinking
in the last two centuries under the impact of internal processes
and external events. And by doing so, it highlights the attempt of
Armenians to participate in the making of their own future and the
difficult choices they had to face.- - Dr. Gerard Chaliand,
historian and political scientist, author of Nomadic Empires
