《围城》是第一本以任何语言记录和分析阿布哈兹民族政治动态的书。阿布哈兹位于黑海东北角，在一场血腥的内战后脱离了后苏联的格鲁吉亚共和国。15年来，该地区一直是一个事实上的独立国家，尽管国际上不承认，直到2008年8月，围绕南奥塞梯（另一个分离领土）的短暂战争结束，俄罗斯正式宣布阿布哈兹和南奥塞梯拥有主权。虽然很少有人熟悉这个后苏联小国的政治和经济机制，但阿布哈兹已成为俄罗斯重新定义其全球影响力的关键组成部分，也是俄罗斯与西方地缘政治斗争的主要参与者。《被围困》阐明了阿布哈兹的民族政治动态，这种动态在该国的国家建设努力中发挥了重要作用，并塑造了许多民族社区的生活条件。格鲁吉亚人，亚美尼亚人，格鲁吉亚人和俄罗斯人都称阿布哈兹为家，这本书探讨了政府的事实地位对这些群体的国家地位的想法和如何持续的紧张局势之间的影响格鲁吉亚，阿布哈兹和俄罗斯未能改善该地区的社会政治局势。
"Under Siege" is the first book in any language to document and analyze the ethno-political dynamics of Abkhazia - a region located in the north eastern corner of the Black Sea - which broke away from the post-Soviet Republic of Georgia following a bloody civil war. For fifteen years the region was a de facto independent, though internationally unrecognized, state, until August of 2008, when the short war over South Ossetia (another breakaway territory) ended in Russia's official declaration that Abkhazia and South Ossetia were sovereign. Though few are familiar with the political and economic mechanics of this small, post-Soviet country, Abkhazia has become a crucial component of Russia's struggle to redefine its global influence and a major player in its geopolitical battle with the West. "Under Siege" clarifies Abkhazia's ethno-political dynamics, which have played a major role in the country's state building efforts and have shaped the conditions under which many ethnic communities live. Abkhazians, Armenians, Georgians, and Russians all call Abkhazia home, and this volume explores the effect of the government's de facto status on these groups' idea of nationhood and how continuing tensions between Georgia, Abkhazia, and Russia fail to improve the socio political situation of the region.
