This book analyzes the legal and economic situation concerning the
removal and allocation of the natural resources in the Caspian Sea
- the largest enclosed body of salt water in the world, which not
only constitutes a fragile ecosystem with great fishery resources,
but is also rich in oil and gas deposits. The economic advantages
gained from the development of oil and gas are the basis for the
economic and social development of the riparian states, but also
cause significant transboundary harm to the ecosystem of the
Caspian Sea. The book contends that, if the local environment grows
more heavily contaminated through the extraction of mineral
resources, it could lead to environmentally induced violence. It
describes the ongoing conflicts, which are primarily due to various
riparian states' territorial claims concerning the extraction of
oil and gas resources, and argues that the current legal framework
on the use and protection of the Caspian Sea is obsolete. Thus, the
main objective of the book is to point out corresponding
international legal mechanisms that could be used in order to
settle these disputes and protect the Caspian Sea's fragile
environment from transboundary harm.
