Political activity of foreign transnational corporations in the Caspian region: A comparative analysis
Abstract
The article considers the process of foreign multinational corporations entering into the Caspian region in early to mid-1990 s - the period that became a starting point for a determination of regional energy policy. The comparative analysis of foreign companies’ involvement is carried out to oil and gas industry of the coastal states. The author objects to exclusiveness of an economic aspect as a reason of foreign business activity and tries to define a political pretext of regional and non-regional actors.
