The title examines conflicts over borders and ethnic identity, focusing on the cases of Russia and neighboring countries. In particular, the title presents various issues of borders (Russia-Poland / three Baltic states), historical identity of Kaliningrad, conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, issue of ethnicity and conflicts over borders in Central Asia, the dismantlement of Yugoslavia and expansionary nationalism of Serbia, among other issues. These case studies of Russia and neighboring countries regarding borders and ethnic identity will help readers better understand the realities of conflicts over borders across the world and conduct comparative analysis with historical and territorial disputes in Northeast Asia.
