Abstract
The Caspian Sea region has become one of the most sensitive areas of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and of an enlarged Middle East. The vast resources of oil and natural gas have given a new relevance to the newly independent states of Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan in the domain of energy policy and geopolitics, both within the region as a whole and beyond. To put their natural resources at the service of developing and stabilizing their economies, these states have to find a way to enter the world market.
