The Future of Transcaspian Security

Abstract

Recent American and NATO agreements with Russia and deployments to Central Asia and the Transcaucasus create significant opportunities for building a truly cooperative security regime across the former Soviet Union. The idea that individual governments, NATO, and other Western security organizations effectively could play this role with or without Russia is not new. Four years ago I wrote that the many internal and international challenges to Transcaspian security ultimately pointed to NATO's assumption of a critical regulatory role there. Russian analysts also entertained ideas on new cooperation with the European Union's (EU) emerging defense organs in 2000.
