Not about the region at all

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017

This is rather misleading. Most of the essays don't focus on Georgia and Abkhazia at all, but are instead political theory about various forms of federalization and how it works, with a focus on Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Russia. They make little effort to tie into the Georgia-Abkhazia topic, sometimes just noting a single sentence stating those names. The only real contributions that looks at the region in depth is by Viacheslav Chirikba and Ivlian Haindrava, who not surprisingly were associated with the Abkhaz and Georgian governments, respectively. It would have been interesting to see some ideas from the mid-1990s on how to resolve the conflict (most of the proposals are obviously impossible in the current situation), but it instead just expresses political theory and disregards any real association with Georgia or Abkhazia, which is a real shame.

Abkhazia - Independent

I am happy theese kind of books still exist on the Earth! If not this book, nobody will have a chance to realise the Georgian injustice to Abkhazia and the fact of commiting genocide to the nation, that now has only about 300 people left worldwide.
