The Great Game in West Asia examines the strategic competition between Iran and Turkey for power and influence in the South Caucasus. As much of the world's attention has been diverted to conflicts and flashpoints near and far, a new great game has been unravelling between Iran and Turkey in the South Caucasus.
This book investigates the evolving strategic competition between Iran and Turkey for regional hegemony within the South Caucasus. Mehran Kamrava, a scholar specializing in Middle Eastern politics, utilizes a geopolitical framework to analyze how these two regional powers navigate shifting alliances and historical tensions. The text argues that the South Caucasus serves as a critical theater where the interests of Tehran and Ankara intersect, often in direct opposition to one another.
