Since submission

Preface

This book completed its first incarnation as the submitted manuscript of my Doctor of Philosophy degree at the Law Department of the University of Keele, with the title: The Constitutional Development of Three Post-Soviet Transcaucasian Autonomies: A Comparative Analysis'. Now, a little over 18 months later, I am submitting it once again, only this time for publication.

The Introduction, Chapters 1-13 and the Conclusion are virtually identical to the originally submitted manuscript, only electing, where I feel necessary, to improve its syntax/grammar. All that has been added is the 'Update' chapter.

Thousands of hours of thought went into the submitted thesis. Such long reflection, 1 believe, was ultimately rewarded at my Viva, being awarded my PhD without the need for any corrections. Since submission I have had the opportunity to reflect still further and have concluded that my original thoughts and impressions were sound. I appreciate that some sections of this book contain difficult conclusions for all the sides, but what is the point in discussing things that, sincerely, I feel have no prospect of realisation?

I would ask that this book not be read by piece/section, but from beginning to end. Only by doing this will the reader regard the truly dispassionate account that I have presented. May 1 also add that this book contains only material that has been circulated in the public domain. I see no utility in reading between the lines.

Finally, on a personal level, may I take this opportunity to thank my supervisor, Professor Patrick Thornberry (now of the Department of International Relations at Keele) for his successive words of wisdom uttered since I was a very humble LLM student. He will probably never fully appreciate just how often those countless utterances have been retraced in my mind and how useful they continue to be. If I have never said it before, thank you.

Tim Potier
