Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to elaborate a theoretical framework and to present conceptual tools used to analyze the dynamics of energy security and pipeline politics in the Caspian region. For this purpose, three interdisciplinary and complementary concepts are applied to structure the framework: the concept of figuration; structural change of world economy; and radical geopolitics. Application of these different concepts together contributes to the understanding of pipeline dynamics and current energy policy pursued by various actors in the southern gas corridor.
