The South Caucasus region, comprising the former Soviet states of
Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia occupies a key strategic location,
squeezed between the Black and Caspian Seas, Iran, Russia and
Turkey. Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, the
region has become an arena of geopolitical confrontation with
regional powers such as Russia, Turkey and Iran vying for influence
in the face of growing Western involvement. The Russian military
intervention in Georgia in 2008 not only raised questions about
Moscow's intentions towards its 'Near Abroad' and the future
direction of its foreign policy, it also demonstrated that
ostensibly local separatist disputes have serious ramifications for
regional relations and the wider international community. In this
book, German explores the extent of regional cooperation in the
South Caucasus, analyses the reasons for the relative lack of
regional cooperation and assesses the potential for deeper
cooperation in the future.
