The Caspian Sea: neighbours and players

Description:
The surge in the exploitation of hydrocarbons in the
Caspian region has changed the rules for development
and engagement in many sectors, in particular oil, land and
sea transport, and services. National interests multiplied
after the breakdown of the Soviet Union as Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan gained independence.
Relationships between these states are being tested as
the possibility of large profits emerges. Additionally,
with China entering the game as an increasingly strong
economic player, the centre of gravity is moving east,
demanding that new transport and communication
routes are considered across the region.
