Sadri makes a worthwhile effort to bring social scientific reasoning into an area specialty often given to sweeping ideological or geostrategic schemes and thus advocates for foreign policy prescriptions better rooted in reason and evidence.

"Professor Sadri's latest book contains the most comprehensive and innovative analysis of the complex affairs of our region that I have encountered. His frequent visits to the region as well as his extensive interactions with the local population inform his work with a deeper understanding of our region's politics than the typical foreign observer.”

In Conflict and Cooperation in the South Caucasus Region, Houman Sadri cogently analyzes the foreign and domestic policies of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia within the broader context of Caucasian history and the Eurasian security environment. He effectively argues that major theories of international relations can provide only partial explanations for the complex dynamics of this mountainous area. Utilizing perspectives from both comparative politics and international relations, this comprehensive, readable work on an understudied region will be appreciated by undergraduate students and specialists alike.
