The South Caucasus

Analyzing economic, political, and security developments in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

Throughout history, the South Caucasus has been a fault zone between East and West. The states themselves contain diverse populations, reflecting the history of the Caucasus as a frontier of Europe, Russia, Turkey, and Iran, all of which remain important actors in the region. The CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program tracks developments in this complex and strategically important region and produces analysis that informs the global debate.
