Smart Nation: A Blueprint for Modern Armenia – Second Edition is a timely exploration of Armenia’s future at a critical crossroads. Building on the groundbreaking first edition—where over 70 percent of its recommendations were adopted in full or in part—this new edition goes further, tackling the urgent questions of technology, diplomacy, security, and prosperity in an era of uncertainty with new insights, bold strategies, and visionary ideas that could help shape Armenia’s tomorrow.
"Smart Nation is a timely and thought-provoking book that is a must read for those interested in the future of Armenia and peace and stability in the South Caucasus. Its focus on state building and how that can be advanced through the pursuit of coherent and effective domestic and foreign policies on the part of the Armenian government, including the role of the Armenian Diaspora, is worthy of serious consideration.”
-- Ambassador Edward P Djerejian
"A thoughtful contribution to the debate about Armenia’s future at a time of enormous regional and global uncertainty.”
-- Ian Bremmer, President and Founder of Eurasia Group
"Armenia stands at the crossroads of ambition and opportunity against a backdrop of international conflict with a special focus on the Caucasus. In this expanded second edition of Smart Nation, Sassoon Grigorian presents a realistic roadmap for Armenia to navigate the diplomatic maze; to gamer its incredibly potent natural, human, and intellectual resources both within it and the diaspora. This edition again reflects the expertise and experience which Sassoon Grigorian has in international politics and economics. One should heed his words of wisdom.”
