Crimea - From Regional And International Perspectives Kadir Üstün

We Hope That This Edited Volume Will Provide The Audiences With An İnformed Perspective About The Significance Of The Russian İnvasion And Annexation Of Crimea İn 2014. It Should Not Only Enrich Our Understanding Of The Geopolitical İmplications Of This Development But Also Better Contextualize The Ongoing War İn Ukraine. When Russia Set Out To İnvade Ukraine İn Early 2022, Many Argued That İt Was The Return Of Classic Geopolitical Conflict But Perhaps İt Had Never Left İn The First Place. The Annexation Of Crimea Was An İmportant Turning Point İn Russia’s Efforts To Reclaim What İt Considers İts “Backyard.” It Also Arguably Had Precedent İn The Chechen And Georgian Wars.
