Produktbeschreibung
This study investigates Russia's 100 year expansion into her southern periphery, and the gradual integration of this new territory through infrastructure. These measures culminated in the construction of roads through difficult mountainous territory in a region with diverse ethnicities and confessions. The author holds that Russia was only gradually able to solve this multitude of challenges with the ideological self-assertion of being a civilizing mission. Eventually, the Caucasus was integrated into the Tsarist Empire without the russification of indigenous ethnicities, while still offering them a share in the modernizing process Russia was undergoing. However, some of the "unruly" mountainous tribes were resettled or even exiled to the Ottoman Empire.

--------------------
"Reinhard Nachtigal hat eine profunde Studie vorgelegt, die sich nicht lediglich mit den in St. Petersburg geäußerten politischen Absichten für den Kaukasus zufrieden gibt, sondern auf der Stufe der Verwaltung, namentlich der militärisch-zivilen Verkehrsexperten vor Ort, die sukzessive Durchdringung eines äußerst umkämpften und vielschichtigen Raumes nachzeichnet."
