Export Pipelines from the CIS Region. Geopolitics, Securitization, and
Political Decision-Making

This timely collection offers fresh perspectives to the analysis of the ‘New Great Game’ – the fight for access to the Caspian Sea region’s energy resources. Thus far the export of the Caspian crude oil and natural gas has only been assessed through a geopolitical lens, which oversimplifies the political dynamics of the region and neglects to acknowledge the Caspian countries as actors in their own right.
