The attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001,
enhanced the importance of both the Transcaucasus and Central Asia
to American security. Overflight rights through the Caucasus to
Central Asia and Afghanistan are vital components of the ongoing
military effort there by both U.S. and NATO forces. But this region
has multiple conflicts and fault-lines. As multiple recent crises
show, Russo-Georgian tensions connected with South Ossetia and
Abkhazia could erupt into open violence at any time. The author
outlines the possibilities for conflict in this region and the
qualities that make it strategically important, not only for
Washington and Moscow, but also increasingly for Europe.
