ABSTRACT:
This paper is an attempt to look at the concept of small states and the extent to which this concept is applicable in the case of the South Caucasus. Moreover the paper will also try to examine the impact that the emergence of the newly independent states of the South Caucasus had on the understanding of the field of international relations. This paper will argue that although the current international system is different, the concept of small and weak states and the issues they face is not, and that the countries of the South Caucasus face problems similar to those that small states have witnessed throughout history.
To do these the paper will raise and try to answer the following questions. First, what is the concept of weak state? Second, to what extent can previous work done on the concept of weak states be implemented on the Caucasus? And finally, do the countries of the South Caucasus contribute anything new to the understanding of small states?
