The Great Game itself has been written about extensively, but never from a Persian angle and from the point of view of the local players in that game. Looking at the territorial consequences of the Great Game for the local players is a unique approach, which deserves a special place in the studies of history, geography, politics and geopolitics of the age of modernity. 410 0$aIslamic Studies Series 606 $aGeopolitics$zAsia, Central 607 $aAfghanistan$xBoundaries 607 $aIran$xBoundaries 607 $aPakistan$xBoundaries 615 0$aGeopolitics 676 $a320.1/2/0958 700 $aMojtahed-Zadeh$b Pirouz$0640441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820022003321 996 $aSmall players of the Great Game$93993351 997 $aUNINA
