Resilience and Political Stability in the Shadow of Hybrid War and Peace : Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkiye, Iran, Russia and Ukraine

The book offers a systematic and empirical assessment of political stability across seven regional states: Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Iran, Russia, and Ukraine.Using a newly constructed analytical tool, the Stability Index of Political Systems, it introduces a composite methodology that combines political, economic, and social indicators to measure and interpret stability levels across different regimes and historical phases.Through individual country analyses and a cross-country comparison, the book reveals the diverse factors influencing state resilience, the impact of external actors, authoritarian tendencies, and post-conflict realities.Special attention is paid to the consequences of the 2020 Artsakh War, Russia's aggression in Ukraine, and regional geopolitical shifts.The book offers an innovative methodological lens and provides a rare comparative perspective, grounded in both theory and quantitative analysis.It fills a critical gap by translating qualitative political trends into measurable insights, making it a valuable resource for academic and policy-related applications.
