Book Synopsis The New Geopolitics of Eurasia and Turkey's Position by : Bulent Aras
Download or read book The New Geopolitics of Eurasia and Turkey's Position written by Bulent Aras and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores the geopolitical struggles that are currently underway in the newly independent states of the Caucasus region, showing how many players in the region are coalescing into two opposing blocs. The growing political, military and economic ties amongst the countries of these two blocs stem from a number of developments in the region, most notably the fall of the Soviet Union, and consequently the end of the Cold War and its bi-polar global alliance structure. These blocs are competing for influence in the region, and the rights to exploit and transport the rich energy resources that have been found in the Caspian Sea. The text shows how many actors have been willing to co-operate in other non-energy related issues, in the hope of receiving a financial reward when countries do decide on these matters.
Book Synopsis New World Order and Small Regions by : Emil Avdaliani
Download or read book New World Order and Small Regions written by Emil Avdaliani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the unfolding geopolitical changes in the South Caucasus in the age of increased great power competition across Eurasia. Recent research on the geopolitics of the South Caucasus focuses either on interstate relations among Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia or on each of regional actor’s (Russia, Turkey and Iran) ties with the region’s one or all three states. Little attempt has been made to see the region’s shifting geopolitical importance from a global perspective: growing US-China rivalry and shifting balance of power in Eurasia; recalibration of the US’ military and diplomatic vision in western Eurasia to adjust to the Chinese challenge. The book argues, from a theoretical point of view, that the increased competition in the region fits into the global pattern of unfolding great power competition, when military and economic calculations drive regional powers to increase their influence on immediate neighborhoods sidelining the collective West from the negotiating table and the emerging new security architecture.

Book Synopsis The 'New' Geopolitics in the Caucasus by : Gvantsa Davitashvili
Download or read book The 'New' Geopolitics in the Caucasus written by Gvantsa Davitashvili and published by Ibidem Press. This book was released on 2024-06-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the EU's ambition to develop "strategic and ambitious partnership(s) based on common values and rules, mutual interests and commitments, as well as shared ownership and responsibility" (EEAS) in the countries of the Eastern Partnership has come under much pressure. Whatever remains of this ambitions in the South Caucasus has turned into a frantic attempt to re-define the EU's role in this new geopolitical scenario. This collection focuses on Armenia and Georgia as the two "frontline" countries in which the beneficial role of the EU and the supposed commonality of values are being questioned most rigorously. Using the perspective of authors from the region, this volume offers unique insights into the debates and perceptions of the EU's involvement in the South Caucasus.
Book Synopsis Reassessing Security in the South Caucasus by : Annie Jafalian
Download or read book Reassessing Security in the South Caucasus written by Annie Jafalian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lying on the periphery of Europe, Russia, Turkey and Iran, and also being of interest to the United States, the South Caucasus is receiving growing attention among decision-makers and scholars of international relations. From a European perspective, the region is now forming a neighbouring area at the border of the Black Sea, as well as a corridor of oil and gas imports whose stability has become part of European security itself. As such, this volume reassesses security in the South Caucasus. It makes it possible to update analysis on security interests, perceptions and policies at national, regional and international levels through cross-national studies. Aimed at highlighting long-term defence and security trends in the region, contributors re-examine their relevance and enduring impact. They also identify changing dynamics under recent geopolitical and political developments in and around the region such as: the enlargements of NATO, the August 2008 Russia-Georgia war, the creation of the EU Eastern Partnership or Presidential elections. One of this volume's distinct contributions is that chapters have been written by experts from inside and around the region, i.e. Armenia, Georgia, Russia and Turkey, with other important contributions provided by authors from France and Canada having extensive experience in the area. Students and scholars of post-Soviet states, Eurasian geopolitics and European Security will find this volume enlightening.

The future of these newly independent states; where Iran and Turkey, as well as Russia, the U.S. and the E.U. are vying for political and economic influence; is still being determined, and it is clearer every day that events in the Caucasus and Caspian Sea region have the potential to impact European security.

Book Synopsis The Changing Geopolitics in the South Caucasus During the War in Ukraine by : Ralph Wrobel
Download or read book The Changing Geopolitics in the South Caucasus During the War in Ukraine written by Ralph Wrobel and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since February 2022 - when Russia invaded the Ukraine - the geopolitical situation in the South Caucasus changed dramatically. On the one hand, EU sanctions on Russia made the "Middle Corridor" of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative through the South Caucasus more attractive for China and Europe, on the other hand the "protective power" Russia is weakened by the war and the Western sanctions leaving a vacuum of power in the South Caucasus. As a result, Azerbaijan was able to reconquer the region Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2023 within a few days, only. Therefore, the region is still not more an unassailable Russian "backyard" or "sphere of interest" but place of a new "great game" of the main powers in the world. Beside Russia losing power - a slight rise of China can be observed while the West - U.S. and the EU - is still neglecting the region. Only Türkiye became a new active geopolitical player in the region. This may - beside all tragedy for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh - bring some "never ending conflicts" in the region to an end and may open up new opportunities for Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan to develop better economically in the near future.

Download or read book Azerbaijan's Geopolitical Landscape written by Farid Shafiyev and published by Charles University in Prague, Karolinum Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being located between the Black and Caspian seas, Azerbaijan has always been the juncture of Eurasia—with a traditional reputation as a crossroads between the north-south and east-west transport corridors—and the traditional ground for competition between numerous regional and global players, using both soft and hard power. With its vast hydrocarbon energy reserves, Azerbaijan is a country of particular importance in the South Caucasus. The region’s complex geopolitics have immensely influenced Azerbaijan’s foreign policy strategy. With the dissolution of the USSR, Azerbaijan, as a new state with fragile security, found itself in a complicated situation surrounded by regional powers like Iran, Russia, and Turkey. The book is built around several major foreign policy issues faced by the Republic of Azerbaijan since it regained its independence in 1991. These major issues include the conflict with Armenia and related matters, the relationship with the West, as well as the complexities arising from its relationship with Russia and its ties to Muslim countries, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Book Synopsis Caucasus Region by : Aleksandro I. Kapidze
Download or read book Caucasus Region written by Aleksandro I. Kapidze and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers may legitimately wonder what the relatively small Caucasus Region has in common with such enormous regions as Asia, Europe and the Americas. The answer is not to be found in geographic size or GDP but rather in historical richness and geopolitical significance of the region. The Caucasus Region is coveted by Russia for historical, economic (read oil) and strategic reasons. It is less clear why the US is so active in the region except perhaps to poke a thumb in Russia's eye or gain access to the Caspian Sea oil or both. China and Japan are showing interest perhaps because they believe the region is a partially Eastern-orientated window to expanding influence in the Middle East and Europe. Thus the Caucasus Region including Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Chechnya, finds itself as a key player in the world geopolitical game of chess.
