The Emerging Green Energy Corridor in the Caspian Region
The Caspian–European Union Green Energy Corridor is a strategic initiative to bolster energy security and diversification in a tense geopolitical climate. The corridor hinges on large-scale renewable energy projects like the Black Sea and Caspian Sea Electricity Cables, facilitating green energy exports from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan to Europe. These projects showcase the Caspian region’s potential to contribute to global sustainabil…
Onwards and …eastwards? EU-Azerbaijan relations as an example of crisis-driven agenda-setting within the framework of the European neighbourhood policy
This paper uses qualitative discourse analysis to investigate how the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war in 2020 and Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 have impacted bilateral relations between the European Union and Azerbaijan in the realm of security and energy policy? The study takes into account geo-political developments in the aftermath of the 2018 Agreement on New Partnership Priorities, as well as contemplates the future of the European Neighbo…
Constructive Competition in the Caspian Sea Region
The Caspian Sea region has hitherto largely been investigated from a `New Great Game’ perspective that depicts the region as a geopolitical battleground between regional and external great powers, where tensions have been exacerbated by the sea’s rich natural resources, strategic location, and legal disagreements over its status. This book, by contrast, portrays a new image of the region, which still acknowledges the difficulties and problemati…
Conflict, cooperation or competition in the Caspian Sea region
This article critically reviews the New Great Game image of the Caspian Sea region and the assumptions, concepts, and mechanisms (revolving around actors, aims, and motivations) this image is based on. More specifically, this review essay answers the following questions: How does the academic literature interpret the impact of competition between great powers on social, political and economic developments in the Caspian Sea region? Which actors a…
The reality of environmental cooperation and the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea
Using insights from classical functionalism, this article analyses the complex relationship between the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea and the Caspian Environment Programme (CEP). The article pursues three objectives. First, it shows how shared ecological issues challenged individual littoral states and brought their respective governments under the CEP umbrella in 1998. Second, it shows how key actors (UNEP, UNDP, GEF, and Wor…
Ukraine’s unfinished natural gas and electricity reforms
This paper seeks to explain Ukraine’s natural gas and electricity sector reforms, to outline the challenges facing these two sectors going forwards and to identify prospects for renewables. It makes three core arguments: First, the regulatory templates promoted by the European Union do not lend themselves to swift implementation. This is because the EU’s approach has been supply-driven, in the sense that it exports regulatory templates already de…
Great game visions and the reality of cooperation around post-Soviet transnational infrastructure projects in the Caspian Sea region
This article argues that the complexities of the Caspian Sea region and of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline are only narrowly understood and explained by the geopolitical literature. In an attempt to address these shortcomings and to propose an alternative reading of transnational infrastructures, the BTC pipeline is revisited. Theoretically, the article uses insights from functionalism to explain the three phases of the BTC project: planni…
The (re)-politicisation of international relations in the post-Soviet space
Over the last two decades, the post-Soviet space has undergone remarkable changes: new conflicts have emerged, transnational infrastructures have been constructed, new institutions have been created and new security concerns have appeared. However, until relatively recently, scant attention has been paid to the significance of alternative approaches to geopolitics as an explanatory paradigm to assist in understanding the new changes in the post-S…
The New Geopolitics of Natural Gas
This work presents a timely analysis of the significance, prospects and challenges facing main consumers, transit and producer countries in the new geopolitics of natural gas. The core aim of the b
