Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: When extensive possible energy reserves in the Caspian Sea were announced in the early 1990s, this caused excitement in the capitals of the industrialised world and the would-be producing littoral countries, in that they promised to be the biggest oil find since the Alaska fields and a major alternative source to the Middle eastern energy outlets. It was therefore anticipated that the repercusiions would be positive for the world economy and politics. Although the initial excitement faded away as more realistic estimates of reserves and finds emerged, the importance of the Caspian oil and gas is still subject of academic and political debate. The topic has different dimensions worthy of academic analysis. It is important to identify growing political and economic independence in the former Soviet republics bordering the Caspian, and to examine how far they achieved this due to the Caspian energy riches. Secondly, there are significant regional political and economic ramifications to be considered. Exploration of Caspian energy resources and transportation of crude products to the world market necessarily requires the involvement of various regional countries, as well as major players on the international scene. NGOs and IFIs, along with multinational oil majors, are all involved. They all comprise the international relations actors. The Caspian Sea therefore offers a unique opportunity for academic analysis. When the commodity-oil, is precious and brings together so many actors on the international relations stage (the issue bears importance at a time when there is talk of yet another world oil crisis and of relating various wars to this precious commodity), the question arising is whether the exploitation of Caspian energy resources will lead to cooperation or conflict: whether better inter-state relations will evolve or whether the region will be brought into conflict through negative competition and dispute merits academic analysis, which is what this paper will attempt. That the Caspian energy resources will encourage cooperation rather than provoke conflict will constitute my main premise, on the contrary to mainstream arguments for conflict. In attempting to prove this premise, I will make use of relevant IR theories as well as political and legal standpoints of the involved states.
