Uncrowned Kings of the East (Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan): From Tribal Structures to 21st Century Autocracies

The new book by Georgy Asatryan is distinguished by a deep and comprehensive analysis of the political and economic processes occurring in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and throughout the Middle East.

The author examines how the "Taliban" came to power, as well as the role that the influence of the USSR and the USA played in the formation of Middle Eastern regimes. Asatryan continues the tradition started by Edward Said in "Orientalism".
As a recognized expert in this field, he presents the complex twists and turns of the "Great Game" in an accessible and understandable manner.

Thanks to this publication, the reader will be able to understand the main reasons for the global confrontation of the "East-West" not only through the lens of the ideologies of Marxism and post-colonialism, but in all its diversity.
