CASPIAN REGION IN GEOPOLITICAL COMPETITION AND GEOECONOMIC INTERESTS

Abstract

The results of the socio-political development of the world in the twentieth century show that this century was a time of exacerbation of existing tension and the growth of social and political upheavals. Serious changes in the system of international relations, including the emergence of sovereign states after the collapse of the former USSR, are one of the most important events in political development in the early 1990s. After the collapse of the USSR, political and economic relations in the post-Soviet space were paralyzed. Under these conditions, the new independent states tended to create various institutions and associations for economic relations or to unite with existing institutions and associations, and looked for ways to develop bilateral and multilateral cooperation. The author conducted research in this area as an integral part of the problem, compared the current state, the dynamic development in the integration processes of the Caspian countries and the foreign policy line in this direction.
