Özet:

 

Since the break up of the Soviet Union, the South Caucasus has become vitally important to  economic and security considerations, both regionally and globally. In fact, the world community's  renewed attention has led to the region's reappearance on the international stage. Simultaneously, the  contemporary fragile stability of three newly independent states of the South Caucasus - Armenia,  Azerbaijan and Georgia - is arousing serious anxiety in the Western democracies. Post-communist  leaders and their governments are acutely embroiled in a complex set of ethnic conflicts, which  produce additional difficulties for developing a market economy, democratic institutions and an open  society in the region. The three infant nations, grappling with the complexities of rapid economic  and social transition are indeed searching for the keys to a new civilizational and national model of  statehood.  At the same time, domestic developments are taking place under the growing interference of outside  geopolitical forces, which demonstrate great interest towards the natural resources and geo-strategic  potential of the Caspian basin region. Consequently, the foreign influences of the major geopolitical  players create immediate barriers for the newly independent states in the South Caucasus. Perhaps  most importantly, the region is historically prone to internal conflict between small nations and  external conflict with outside powers competing to extend their influence in this part of the world.
