10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This volume is the product of many scholars and staff at the Caspian Strategy Institute, Istanbul. One third of the chapters have been original contributions and earlier versions of the rest have been previously published as articles in the Caspian Report, a quarterly journal of the Caspian Strategy Institute. It has been a challenge to decide on the select articles of this journal to be included in this volume. All the credit for publishing academic and policy relevant articles in this journal goes to Dr. Efgan Nifti, the Editor-in-Chief of the Caspian Report. The whole administrative and scholarly staff of the Caspian Strategy Institute has contributed to the preparation of this volume for publication. However, some individuals deserve special credit. Firstly, this volume would not have been possible without the commitment of Dr. Bekir Günay, the Head of the Academics Committee and resolution of Mr. Haldun Yavaş, the Secretary General of the Caspian Strategy Institute. Secondly, I thank to the contributors to this volume who have all been very cooperative throughout the editorial process. Lastly, I owe special thanks to my assistants Zeynep Liva Öztürk and especially Burcu Demir who has been fully committed to the project from the beginning. I, along with the contributing authors, remain responsible for any errors this book may contain. Ahmet Yükleyen Istanbul, March 2015 VIII
11 GEOPOLITICS OF THE CASPIAN REGION EDITED BY AHMET YÜKLEYEN This volume brings together the expertise of scholars and policy-makers to examine the post-cold War dynamics in the Caspian region, including the Caucasus, the Black Sea, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Abundant natural resources of the region provide incentives for cooperation, but they also invite new power games. The global and emerging regional actors can no longer continue within the constraints of the zero sum game. The revival of geopolitics as an important concept requires all actors to be more creative in maximizing their growth potential through cooperation rather than conflict. In this volume, the contributors analyze the geopolitics of the Caspian region through ongoing crises and suggest policies to take advantage of political economic opportunities. This carefully edited volume is a welcome addition to the limited scholarly literature that deals with the Caspian region, a region of ever growing strategic importance. The editor places the important contributions from an international group of experts within an appropriate theoretical framework, that of geopolitics. This book is an excellent starting point for anyone who wishes to become acquainted with this dynamic and evolving region or who has an interest in contemporary geopolitics Joseph S. Szyliowicz, Professor Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver Contributions in this volume provide insightful analyses of the ways in which global and regional actors including NATO, Iran, Russia, and Turkey deal with various contemporary issues such as the Ukraine crisis, the Jihadist threat, and the definition of maritime boundaries in the energy rich Caspian Sea. One section is appropriately devoted to the ways in which Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Georgia and Russia deal with energy and related challenges. Though the states of the Caspian region often engage in conflict, their future will be shaped by the ways in which they confront national and regional economic issues. This book s innovative approach encourages scholars and policy-makers to address contemporary challenges and seize the opportunities in the region for a prosperous and peaceful future.
