State and Sovereignty in the Armenian Experience
In this overview of the evolution of Armenian political thought, Dr. Gaïdz Minassian considers the factors that have both shaped a strong Armenian identity and detracted from the development of foundational sovereignty and statehood. Perpetually caught in the shifting borders of much larger empires, Armenia’s political development has undoubtedly been shaped by external forces but as Minassian points out, state building requires deeper introspection and a commitment to allegiances and institutions that have been largely lacking in the Armenian experience.
