..."a well researched, well-organized and well-documented effort to assess the integration of the Caucasus into in the post-Cold War world. It is useful for the understanding post-Soviet political developments and the shapes and contours of big-power and superpower hostility...a sophisticated sythesis of the various elements of the chronic rivalry and cooperation among nation-states, economic interests and political leaders."-Middle East Policy "Overall, one of the best works on an area not well-know to western audiences. Recommended for senior undergraduate and graduate audiences."-Choice "Stephen Blank's highly critical essay on US policy in the Caspian Sea region is a must-read. The book should be required reading for all serious analysts and observers of the Caspian Sea region."-The International History Review ?Overall, one of the best works on an area not well-know to western audiences.

Reseña del editor:

The opening of the Caspian Sea basin to Western investment following the breakup of the Soviet Union produced a major contest for access to the region's vast energy reserves on the part of powers as close as Russia, Turkey, and Iran, and as far away as Japan and the United States. Indeed, the struggle to exploit Caspian oil has been one of the most monumental geopolitical developments of the post-Cold War era as external powers vie for political, economic, and military influence in a region brimming not only with oil, but also with ethnic conflicts and historical animosities. The coming decade of rapidly increasing demand for energy will ensure the continued interest and engagement of external powers with often competing geopolitical agendas. Thus the geopolitical developments spawned by the opening of the Caspian Sea are likely to continue to far outweigh the actual impact of Caspian oil on world energy markets. This collection of essays by prominent scholars and international experts offers several important and often conflicting interpretations of the events unfolding along the shores of the world's oldest oil-producing region.
