Azerbaijan - ''the crucible for Eurasia's energy brew''

read more from asia times online....

"The geo-economics of Central Eurasian energy have continued along analytical lines previously outlined in this space. (See A delicate dance of power, Asia Times Online, December 24, 2009.) The years 1993 through 2010 were a "macro-phase", representing the "emergence" of post-Cold War patterns of organization of international energy geo-economics in the different sub-regions of Eurasia (various European regions plus the various areas of Asia - such as Southwest, Central, Southeast, and so forth). 

Some of those patterns have fallen away and others have survived. The various sub-regions have evolved practical overlapping interests and intersections with one another, and they variously cohere in different and changing ways. What follows seeks to tease out the characteristics of the years through which we are now beginning to live given the period just concluded in Eurasian energy geo-economics."
