Product Description

The Caspian is a region, which holds the world's largest unexploited oil and mineral resources, where the break-up of the Soviet Union has created a security vacuum. The area is surrounded by old and new states seeking to utilize their natural wealth to launch their people into the twenty-first century. This book collects essays by contributors from the countries around the Caspian as well as by British experts in a frank and fruitful discussion of the region's problems and the need for a united approach to building mutual confidence and security.
