About the Blog
The Caucasus has always served as a no-man’s land, a buffer-zone and a proxy battleground for empires. Today although some of the players have changed, the region continues to play its role as a land of geo-political intrigue and violent conflict.
This blog, inspired from the idea of a three-way chess game, will analyze developments in the Caucasus and other regions of the former Soviet space watching as the U.S., the E.U. and Russia continue to play a new version of the “Great Game” as they battle for influence and control of these young nations’ futures.
