Paul Goble is a long-time specialist on the non-Russian peoples
of the Former Soviet Union at the State Department and in US
international broadcasting, taught for two years in Estonia after
retirement. Goble's immense contribution is to show how complex
the situation. Whereas others often focus on one aspect of the
fallout from this crisis - such as where should the pipeline
to the West be routed, Goble shows the complex picture as it
relates to the region on both a state and personal level.
A prodigious reader and prolific
writer, Goble has 40 years of experience studying this region
which equips him to hone in on trends and nuances while showing
the complexity of the issues.
Goble writes daily on his blog
Window on Eurasia windowoneurasia.blogspot.com,
basing his analysis on an enormous range of material, often gleaned
from Russian sources. Most recently, he served as Director of
Research and Publications at the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy
in Baku.
