CASPIAN REGION AS A GEOPOLITICAL CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The Caspian region is the most important geopolitical junction connecting Europe, Asia and the Middle East. At the same time, the Caspian region is a source of enormous energy and biological resources. A specific feature of the Caspian Sea can be considered the fact that today it is one of the few corners of the globe where the system of access to the richest natural resources is being restructured in an open form and with many costs.
