Energy and Security in Transcaucasia

Abstract

The author examines the complex international approaches to the area that have manifested themselves in the relationship between outside efforts to mediate or resolve this conflict and to extract, refine, and ship the substantial oil and gas deposits located there. The relationship between energy and security has vital importance for Russia, Turkey, and the local states, but has also drawn in Great Britain, France, and the United States. The outcome also will greatly affect Russia's prospects for reintegrating the former Soviet republics into one system under its control. Transcaucasia, Energy exploration, Economic-military-political union, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
