Post-independence armenia timeline. 330 $a"Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia has struggled to establish itself, with a faltering economy, emigration of the intelligentsia and the weakening of civil society. This book explores how a new national elite has emerged and how it has constructed a new national narrative to suit Armenia's new circumstances. The book examines the importance of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with Azerbaijan, considers the impact of fraught relations with Turkey and the impact of relations with other neighbouring states including Russia, and discusses the poorly-developed role of the very large Armenian diaspora. Overall, the book provides a key overview to understanding the forces shaping all aspects of present-day Armenia."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aBASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European studies ;$v117. 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zArmenia (Republic) 607 $aArmenia (Republic)$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 607 $aArmenia (Republic)$xSocial conditions$y21st century 607 $aArmenia (Republic)$xForeign relations$y21st century 607 $aArmenia (Republic)$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aElite (Social sciences) 676 $a947.56086 700 $aGhaplanyan$b Irina$01551579 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796655603321 996 $aPost-soviet Armenia$93811175 997 $aUNINA
