Product Description
An NRC ad hoc committee analyzed the current status and future development potential of Armenia's science and technology base, including human and infrastructural resources and research and educational capabilities. The committee identified those fields and institutions offering promising opportunities for contributing to economic and social development, and particularly institutions having unique and important capabilities, worthy of support from international financial institutions, private investment sources, and the Armenian and U.S. governments. The scope of the study included both pure and applied research as well as education in science-related fields. The committee's report addresses the existing capacity of state and private research institutions, higher education capabilities and trends, scientific funding sources, innovative investment models, relevant success stories, factors hindering development of the science sector, potential domestic Armenian customers for scientific results and products, and opportunities for regional scientific collaboration. An Armenian language version of the report is also available. ... Read more

Product Description

This volume considers the challenges of democracy building in post-Soviet Armenia, and the role of civil society in that process.

It argues that, contrary to the expectations of Western aid donors, who promoted civil society on the assumption that democratization would follow from the establishment of civil society, democratic regimes have failed to materialize, and, moreover, a backlash has emerged in various post-Soviet states. Armine Ishkanian explores how far the growth of civil society depends on a country's historical, political and socio-cultural context; and how far foreign aid, often provided with conditions which encouraged the promotion of civil society, had an impact on democratization. Based on extensive original research, including fieldwork interviews with participants, Democracy Building and Civil Society in Post-Soviet Armenia considers various democratization initiatives in recent years, and assesses how far the Armenian experience is similar to, or different from, the experiences of other post-Soviet states.

Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Armenian Ombudsmen, Government Ministers of Armenia, Members of the National Assembly of Armenia, Vazgen Sargsyan, Karen Yuzbashyan, Bagrat Asatryan, Armen Harutyunyan, Hrayr Karapetyan, Vahan Hovhannisyan, Artashes Geghamyan, Stepan Demirchyan, Armen Martirossian, Vardan Ayvazyan, Vladimir Migranovich Movsisyan, Suren Khachatryan, Armen Movsisyan. Excerpt: Vazgen Sargsyan (Armenian: , March 5, 1959 October 27, 1999; also written Vasgen Sarkisyan, Sarkissian or Sarkisyan) was Prime Minister of Armenia for the Republican Party of Armenia from June 11, 1999 to October 27, 1999 until his assassination in what is known as the Armenian parliament shooting. He was well-known as a military leader, the first Minister of Defense of Armenia, awarded by Artsakh hero and National Hero of Armenia (posthumously) titles. In 1992 he organized and led the "Mahaparts" special battalion. Vazgen Sargsyan was born in Ararat, Armenian SSR. He graduated from Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture in 1979 before working as a physical instruction teacher in a village school in Ararat. From 1983 to 1986 he was the Communist Youth League leader at the cement factory in Ararat. An amateur writer, V. Sargsyan then moved into literary life. From 1986 to 1989 he headed the publicity department of the Garun (Spring) literary monthly in Yerevan. But the Armenian national ferment of the late 1980s saw him abandon this role as he flung himself headlong into political life. Sargsyan's rise to the top started when, as a former Communist Youth league organiser, he joined the growing movement for the mainly-Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh to be transferred from Azerbaijani to Armenian jurisdiction. He was elected to the Armenian parliament in the 1990 elections, the fi... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=313184 ... Read more

Biased
This book by Walker is another biased product. Historical facts deny Walker's allegations, current facts reveal without doubt Armenian urge for more territory. Howver, it is a fact that the Armenians have won the war. The question is whether they will be able the same determination to win peace. It is highly questionable.
Don't read this book. Your time is precious.

On the contrary...
Do you see any objective, scholarly, logical reviews by people who post their "review"s on the same days (May 20 and March 27, 28). Such ballot-stuffing does not provide any solid or even a weak basis for their cheap and preposterous cliches such as "fake", "lie" and other words, without making any references to where it is a fake. Probably for them the Republic of Armenia and Karabagh are fakes...

I really doubt that they have even read this book. On the contrary the author is extremely objective, but to the point ant writes very well. Too bad that Amazon does not screen unobjective and baselessly accusative "review"s and just posts them. I give the book five stars. It's a well read, and historically precise. The Karabagh war is just a little attempt by a small but couragous people to correct the arbitrarial and dictatorial horrors of Stalin and Communism in its early stages. Turks and Azeris who cry "foul!" cannot see this point from any perspective except from a pan-turanist and politically charged mouthfulls.

That's just a pity...

very fake...
can't do better in faking information, historical fact and contemporary events... certainly not a book for a historical research...

Big Lie
This book is the collection of lies. The writer has no idea about what is going on in that region. It is his imagination. Too bad that these kind of books still are being published.
