- More about New Wars and Old Plagues: Armed Conflict, Environmental Change and Resurgent Malaria in the Southern Caucasus
This Open Access book explores how ethnic conflict reshaped the Southern Caucuses' social and environmental landscape following the Soviet Union's collapse, using remote sensing data and qualitative historical research to examine the largest epidemic of P. vivax malaria since the 1960s. It highlights the importance of infectious disease outbreaks associated with warfare and the transformation of warfare itself since the collapse of the USSR, making it an important addition to the literature on the Karabakh conflict and conflict studies more broadly.

This Open Access book explores the impact of ethnic conflict on the social and environmental landscape of the Southern Caucuses following the collapse of the Soviet Union, using Mary Kaldor's concept of "New Wars" as a framework. It relies on remote sensing data and qualitative historical research to examine how armed conflict between non-state actors led to the largest epidemic of P. vivax malaria in the region since the 1960s. The book is a significant contribution to the literature on the Karabakh conflict and conflict studies more broadly, as infectious disease outbreaks associated with warfare often result in more deaths than the armed conflicts themselves. The Karabakh conflict provides an excellent case study of how "New Wars" transform the natural and social environment to facilitate outbreaks of preventable disease. The extended case study will be useful to researchers from various academic disciplines, including medical anthropology, geography, conflict studies, disease ecology, global health, and public health. It also reveals the fragility of twentieth-century malaria control in temperate regions and will assist in predictive modeling for future outbreaks.
