Two of his monographs were published in the Harvard Cold War Studies Book Series (At the dawn of the Cold War: : The Soviet -American Crisis over Iranian Azerbaijan, 1941-1946. Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, 2006; Stalin and the Turkish Crisis of the Cold War, 1945-1953. Lexington Books, 2011).

Hasanli’s book, Foreign Policy of the Republic of Azerbaijan, 1918-1920: The Difficult Road to Western Integration, (M.E. Sharpe, New York, 2014) narrates the tumultuous path of the first Azerbaijan Republic toward winning international recognition. Based on the archived documents of several countries, the author reconstructs a vivid image of the Azeri political elite’s quest for nationhood after the collapse of the Russian colonial system. With a particular focus on the liberation of Baku from Bolshevik factions, relations with regional neighbors, and the arduous road to recognition of Azerbaijan’s independence by the Paris Peace Conference, the author provides valuable insights into the history of the South Caucasus region and the dynamics of the post-World War I era.[3][4]
