The Caspian Region is endowed with enormous offshore and onshore hydrocarbon resources but their access to world markets is limited. Following the disintegration for the Soviet Union the number of claimants to the Caspian Sea has increased from two to five states. Besides Iran and Russia who shared the sea through the erstwhile Soviet Union Kazakhstan Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan are the three new actors. All transportation routes and energy supply pipelines from this region to outside energy markets are mostly via Russia. Hence the region in a way is fettered to Russia. Countries of the region therefore have welcomed new alternative pipeline initiatives bypassing Russia and Iran. The desire of extraneous powers to gain a foothold in this region has accentuated energy geo politics in this heartland of Eurasia in recent years. The undefined legal status of the Caspian has intensified politics of dividing the seabed and its hydrocarbon resources. This monograph analyses the extant Caspian realities from a varied perspective including pipeline options demand supply asymmetry and the emerging contours of conflicts and their possible resolution in order to ensure regional synergy. 96 pp.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - While security concerns have assumed salience across the globe, Afghanistan's proximity to Central Asia has meant that security or perceptions of insecurity dominate the strategic discourse in the region. Issues that stand out include the challenges that the Central Asian states will face in terms of stability, ethnic tensions, radicalization of youth, destabilization of commodity flows and energy security and the impact that these could have on Central Asian society. However, security cannot just be defined in terms of security at the borders. It needs to be defined in 'cosmopolitan' terms through an array of issues like movements across borders, radicalism within states, the sharing of water, and various multilateral attempts at combating insecurity. This volume is an attempt to focus on some of these issues that reflect on perceptions of security principally from Indian and Uzbek positions. It examines shifts over the last two decades, from debates on the geopolitical importance of the region from a great game perspective to the salience of new engagements within the international arena.
