RUSSIAN NATIONAL INTERESTS AND THE CASPIAN SEA

Year 1999, Volume: 4 Issue: 4, 0 - 0, 01.12.1999

Timothy L. Thomas John Shull

Abstract

The Caspian Sea, located on Iran's northern border, surrounded by Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan, and sharing a border with the south-west corner of Russian territory, is the epicentre of a collision of regional, national and business issues. These include questions among the littoral countries over demarcating the Sea, route diversification for oil pipelines, state interests, investor concern over political and ethnic stability, and the role of international agreements.
