  • Concrete Steps to Break the Deadlocks in the South Caucasus
    Band 2 / 2020 Band 2 / 2020 “Out of the box thinking” was on the agenda of the 20th Regional Stability in the South Caucasus Study Group (RSSC SG) work- shop. After several workshops dealing with geopolitical issues, and a stock-taking workshop in 2018, the co-chairs re-directed attention to the need for practical, ground-based initiatives to foster greater stability at the grass-roots and community levels. Concrete Steps to Break Speakers from the region were required to concentrate on what outcomes and conditions could break the current deadlocks the Deadlocks in the South in moving towards peace and regional stability. Although dead- locks in South Caucasus conflict resolution were hardly broken, Caucasus fresh consensus emerged among participants inter alia on: commonly held interests being defined and leveraged as confi- dence building to facilitate rapprochement and eventually lead to conflict resolution; administrative and identity issues being maintained cleanly separated; and the need to fully de-politicize issues addressed by peacebuilding initiatives.

  • Geopolitical Breakthrough and Emerging Challenges: the Case of the South Caucasus
    PERCEPTIONS JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS June - July 2001 Volume VI - Number 2 GEOPOLITICAL BREAKTHROUGH AND EMERGING CHALLENGES: THE CASE OF THE SOUTH CAUCASUS ELKHAN NURIYEV Dr Elkhan Nuriyev is Director of the Centre for International Studies in Baku, Azerbaijan. He is currently Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow in the Arbeitsstelle Friedensforschung Bonn/Peace Research Centre in Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany. INTRODUCTION Since the break up of the Soviet Union, the South Caucasus has become vitally important to economic and security considerations, both regionally and globally. In fact, the world community's renewed attention has led to the region's reappearance on the international stage. Simultaneously, the contemporary fragile stability of three newly independent states of the South Caucasus - Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia - is arousing serious anxiety in the Western democracies. Post-communist leaders and their governments are acutely embroiled in a complex set of ethnic conflicts, which produce additional difficulties for developing a market economy, democratic institutions and an open society in the region. The three infant nations, grappling with the complexities of rapid economic and social transition are indeed searching for the keys to a new civilizational and national model of statehood. At the same time, domestic developments are taking place under the growing interference of outside geopolitical forces, which demonstrate great interest towards the natural resources and geo-strategic potential of the Caspian basin region. Consequently, the foreign influences of the major geopolitical players create immediate barriers for the newly independent states in the South Caucasus. Perhaps most importantly, the region is historically prone to internal conflict between small nations and external conflict with outside powers competing to extend their influence in this part of the world.

These negative ramifications are further exacer- bated by the fact that Russia holds the key to resolving conflicts in the post-Soviet realm, especially in the absence of greater Western assertiveness. But Moscow and Brussels are caught up in geopolitical competition over the region. Such continued competition prolongs the cycles of instability and could sooner or later spill over into Russia and the EU. Devising a coherent strategy for the region that focuses on an integrated, coordinated approach and recognizes the shared interests of Russia, the EU, and the South Caucasus countries is a pressing challenge that remains unmet.

Azerbaijan is only able to guarantee its national security by means of a balanced foreign policy. Azerbaijan is adapting to the shifting environment. This has allowed Azerbaijan has worked out a modus vivendi with regional actors, and those beyond the South Caucasus. The oil and gas wealth in the Caspian has helped to consolidate Azerbaijan’s independence. The BTC and Baku-Supsa were Azerbaijani initiatives. The strengthening of US-Azerbaijan ties on security has opened the way for cooperation with Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

  • The Policies of the European Union and Russia Towards Central Asia
    X E NOPHON FRASER CAMERON PA P After many years of neglect, Russia has rediscovered the importance of Central Asia. The EU has also ER moved to implement a new strategy for the five Central Asian states which inevitably brings it into no8 conflict with Russia in some areas. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, with many differences as well as some similarities, are struggling to establish themselves and at the same time tackle a growing array of threats. They have all been severely affected by the global economic crisis. As the former colonial master, Russia is well positioned to develop its influence in the region. It has a better understanding of business practices than the EU and is also able to offer no a range of inducements, from financial to security. The EU was late in coming to Central Asia and its XENOPHON PAPER motives were largely concerned with efforts to diversify its energy supplies. Unlike Russia, it seeks to promote democracy and human rights in the region. The main area for conflict between the EU and Russia is energy, with a struggle over new supplies and rival pipelines. THE POLICIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND RUSSIA TOWARDS CENTRAL ASIA 8 The Central Asian states are seeking to play off one side against the other. Several other powers, THE POLICIES OF notably China, Turkey, the US and Iran are also engaged in Central Asia seeking to expand their influence and interests. Rivalry between the EU and Russia in Central Asia will continue with THE EUROPEAN UNION AND Russia best placed to develop its influence in the short term.

  • 1 Summary: Azerbaijan's Strategic Role in Eurasian Pipeline Politics
    Summary: Azerbaijan’s Strategic Role in Eurasian Pipeline Politics The Center for Strategic and International Studies Friday, May 15, 2009 Featured Speaker : Elkhan Nuriyev – Director, Center for Strategic Studies under the President of Azerbaijan Chair: Andrew Kuchins – Director and Senior Fellow, Russia and Eurasia Program, CSIS Summary prepared by : Vladislav Prokopov and Ann Dailey REMARKS ON AZERBAIJAN’S STRATEGIC ROLE Elkhan Nuriyev As a stable and democratizing country in the geo -strategical ly important South Caucasus region, A zerbaijan plays a key role in energy security, stability, and regional economic cooperation . It is therefore important that W estern nations, the E uropean Union in particular, should safe -guard Azerbaijan as an energy an d resource hub for both the EU and Central Asia. The Heightened Importance of Energy Transit and Security The g lobal financial crisis and the collapse of oil prices showed the importance of pipeline politics , namely the importance of ensuring access to energy resources in times of economic uncertainty. This is especially true for the sustainable development of Eurasian energy corridors . As e nergy security is viewed as an increasingly important strategic goal , it is important to look at energy security in the broader context of increased cooperation and long -term geo -strategic goals. The Importance of Azerbaijan’s Role as an Energy Supply Transit Country Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s fore ign policy strategy is to ensure Azerbaijan’s role as a leade r in the South Caucasus. Azerbaijan’s position as an energy supply and transit country , and in particular its contribution to the diversification of energy routes , has helped the country reach these goals.
