Part of the book series: New Security Challenges ((NSECH))

Abstract

The chapter maps and explains practices of foreign energy policies in the Caspian region of three regional actors, the EU, Russia and Turkey. This is to understand the strategy each of the actors has sought to implement regionally and to assess how these practices have influenced their respective neighbourhoods. A decade on from the key geopolitical moment represented by the political enlargements of the EU in 2004 and 2007, a renewed EU-Russia relation has emerged coinciding with the lack of success in accommodating Turkey into the EU project.
