Full textCentral Asia is a region beyond the EU’s direct neighborhood and thus an area that allows the EU to demonstrate its desire to enter the global political stage where it needs to cope with other great powers and to pursue its own strategic interests. However, the Central Asian republics have shown little interest for European transition assistance and political norms, unlike other postcommunist countries in Europe’s orbit. Hence, the central question of our study was thus: How does the EU exert influence in such a challenging geopolitical context? Our empirical results suggest that the EU tries to exert influence in such environment by consciously taking the position of a secondtier actor who acts as a “consultant”, rather than a power, and whose influence is confined to niche domains in the security sphere. The EU is eager to project a picture of itself as an honest broker with no geopolitical agenda in order to enhance its legitimacy; however, its vision of Central Asia being its ‘far neighborhood’ and the related approach unveils the geopolitical nature of its policies through which the EU tries to shape its close and wider environment. However, the EU struggles to put into effect its normative agenda beyond the EU’s direct neighborhood where other normative actors’ influence (Russia, China) exceeds that of the EU. The EU is not a great power in the region that is capable of competing with other external actors. Nor it is willing to become one. It does, however, have comparative advantages in being perceived as inoffensive and for occupying areas that are neglected by the other actors, thus playing the role of a niche actor, albeit an indispensable one

Resumo: Esta tese analisa a política externa de energia dos Estados Unidos na Ásia Central e no Cáucaso após a Guerra Fria. Ambas as regiões foram incluídas na grande estratégia do país, pois o fim da fronteira ideológica criou a oportunidade para que os Estados Unidos estendessem sua hegemonia. Como os recursos energéticos regionais representavam novas opções para o mercado global e condicionavam as relações entre as antigas repúblicas soviéticas, os assuntos de energia tornaram-se o princípio orientador da política externa dos Estados Unidos para essas regiões. Ademais, controlar o comércio global de energia sempre fora parte do processo de construção da Pax Americana. Nos governos Bill Clinton e George W. Bush, o planejamento implicou uma política de "portas abertas" para que o capital internacional não encontrasse barreiras de entrada. O objetivo era desenvolver os setores de petróleo e gás, e a capacidade de exportação dos países produtores. A primeira meta era aumentar a segurança energética europeia, cuja dependência em relação à Rússia interferia nos interesses estratégicos dos Estados Unidos. Tal propósito encontrou inúmeros obstáculos, sendo o principal deles o domínio russo sobre as rotas de distribuição. Diante deste quadro, o plano de ação adquiriu um caráter geopolítico, visando reduzir o monopólio russo e a projeção iraniana nas regiões. A baixa permeabilidade regional à influência da superpotência contribuiu para o fracasso do projeto. Na gestão Obama, as possibilidades surgidas com a "revolução de xisto" nos Estados Unidos indicam que a abordagem geoestratégica poderá ser substituída por uma lógica comercial, com maior foco nas nações consumidoras no entorno da Ásia Central e do Cáucaso
Abstract: This thesis analyses U.S. energy foreign policy in Central Asia and Caucasus after the Cold War. Both Regions became part of the American grand strategy, as the end of the ideological frontier created the opportunity for the extension of U.S. hegemony. Since regional energy resources meant new options for the global market and shaped the relations among the old soviet republics, energy became the guiding principle for U.S. foreign policy in those regions. Besides, the control of global energy trade had always been part of the building process of Pax Americana. In Bill Clinton's and George W. Bush's administrations, the plan implied an "open door" policy for the international capital not to face any barriers. The objective was to develop oil and gas sectors and the export capacity of the producing countries. A primary goal was to increase European energy security, whose dependence towards Russia affected U.S. strategic interests. This purpose encountered several obstacles, the main one being Russian domain over distribution routes. This framework led to a geopolitical action plan aimed to reduce Russian monopoly and Iranian projection. The regional impermeability to an influence from a superpower contributed to the failure of the project. In Obama's administration, the possibilities that arouse with "shale revolution" in U.S. suggest that the geostrategic approach might be replaced by a commercial logic, with a greater focus on consuming nations in the vicinity of Central Asia and the Caucasus

Full textThe collapse of the USSR at the end of the twentieth century has been followed by the creation of fifteen new independent States in the large Eurasian territory. Such is the case of Azerbaijan, which has declared its independence in 1991. Thanks to its geographical position and energy resources (oil and gas) Azerbaijan occupies a geopolitically strategic position and is subject to a geopolitical « game », which implies both regional (Turkey) and great world powers (such as the US, EU and Russia). Consequently, Azerbaijan has adopted a multi-vector foreign policy with its neighbors. Among its neighbors, Turkey, sharing a common history, language, religion and traditions has an important place in the foreign policy of Azerbaijan. In terms of the geopolitical « game », this thesis analyses the relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey. It is based on three axes, as these are the main pillars of bilateral relations between both states. These are political, institutional (commercial) and strategic (security)

However, ideological differences between the two countries did not cause any serious conflict in the 1980s. Then, the question arises, why and how did ideological reasons led to severe frictions between Iran and Turkey in the 1990s.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1992, giving rise to the independence of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, had an significant change in Central Asia circumstance. From then on, these five countries became nation-states with full sovereignty. With the rapid growth of economy, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has been playing an important role in the global community since the policy of reform and opening up was started in 1978. And since then China has changed its view of the world: Under the concept of “Five Principles”, China transfers her policy from “tao guang yang hui” (韜光養晦) to “peaceful rise and peaceful development” (和平崛起與和平發展). This thesis applies an approach of geopolitics, in which geography is the foundation of national security strategy, to discuss how China to develop its Central Asian strategy. The proverb said by Napoleon Bonaparte, “when you understand the geography of one nation, you can understand its foreign policy” is absolutely correct. A detailed research to Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is discussed in this thesis. Being founded on China’s regional security strategy, SCO both prevents from the independence of Xinjiang and provides the regional security in Central Asia. In the meantime, through developing economic relationship with Central Asia, the affluent supply of petroleum resource of that area will accelerate the steps of China’s “Western Development” policy. Above all, these will indeed keep the balance of power with the United States in Eurasia. To the author, the role of SCO is extremely important to PRC to which SCO can procure its goal on regional security strategy in Central Asia.

Due to Central Asia owns abundant energy resources, which attracts international powers to these huge interests. China’s rapid economic development that doubts about its energy security, and China will not naturally miss the opportunity to compete for energy in Central Asia. On the other hand, Central Asian region has long been filled with the “three strengths” and its geographical location adjacent to China, which has made China feel shocked by its surrounding security and economic development, especially in Xinjiang, where is the key area for maintaining security in the northwestern border. Therefore, the analysis of China's geostrategic goals, strategies in terms of perimeter security, economic development and energy security in Central Asia will be important agenda of this study. There are three main findings in this study. Firstly, the core idea of China's geostrategy: continuing to create a safe geographical environment with the neighboring countries through the “good neighborly friendship policy.” Secondly, Central Asia's geostrategic environment changes: With the independence of the five Central Asian countries, their comprehensive national strengths have gradually grown. The ruling authorities have adopted flexible, pragmatic, diversified and flexible diplomatic strategies and international powers. This new type of geostrategic environment will become a more comprehensive international political structure and stabilize the situation in Central Asia. Thirdly, exploring China's geostrategic strategy: the China's geostrategic strategy for Central Asia is very clear, that hopes to maintain stable bilateral relations with Central Asia and to create a geostrategic environment conducive to its own economic development. China will continue to expand its economic and trade cooperation with the Central Asian region through the economic cooperation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, providing a space for the CCP’s Western Development Policy and the Silk Road Economic Belt Initiative, both in terms of domestic economic development and geo-economic Far-reaching geostrategic significance.

Abstract Since the execution of reformation in 1978, China’s economy has been soaring and so has its demand of oil. China used to be self-sufficient in oil. Until 1993 when it started to import oil. In 2004, China imported more than one hundred tons of oil. For the time being, China has already become the second largest energy resources consumer in the world. It is said that around 2020, the import of oil might reach the amount of three hundred tons and China would be the largest petrol importer. In order to have enough oil supply, China keeps finding oil sources in the International market through many ways. For example, china zealously develops trade relationship with some Mid-Asian countries, such as Kirghizia and Kazakhstan, and collaborates with them to develop oil resources. This thesis discuss mainly about 3 points. First, the background and the feature of China’s petrol diplomacy. Second, how China deals with their oil diplomacy. Third, what challenges and effect China faces while competing with other strong countries, such as the U.S. , Russia.,Japan,India. This thesis analyses these points by geopolitics, and reaches to four conclusions. Firstly, China develops oil diplomacy with countries in the Mid-Asian area and aims to actively take part in the world exploitation of oil reserves. Therefore, the Mid-Asian areas, which adjacent to China, become China’s first choice. Secondly, the feature of China’s oil diplomacy is to build a diverse oil supply system; hence, the Mid- Asian area is where China attains the goal of having diverse oil import sources to build the basis of China’s oil safety. Thirdly, China’s oil diplomacy is to control the oil in the Mid-Asian area through Shanghai Cooperate Organization, build a harmonious area in the Mid-Asian area to consolidate the oil resources, and strive for the right to exploit the energy in the Mid-Asian area through state-run Corporation. Lastly, the biggest challenge China faces while developing its petrol diplomacy in the Mid-Asian area is the profit conflicts with other strong countries. Therefore, China can be the crucial country to curb other countries, such as the U.S. and Russia, in the Mid-Asian are.

After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the five newly emerged Central Asian countries lost the protection of their home countries and faced with serious obstacles from within and without on their way of development. In terms of its domestic problems, the five Central Asian states face the historical legacy of structural problems that are uneasy to solve: the confrontation between the political parties and the secular government, the incomplete economic structure by nature, as well as the issue of drug abuse,and the complex ethnic and religious conflicts involved in the nation building doctrine of radical Islam.In terms of the external challenges, from the geopolitical point of view and the view of power politics,the collapse of the Soviet Union represents the decline of the Russian forces, which results in a power vacuum in this area. Its rich energy and superior geopolitical position may attract big power competition for this area. From the day of its independence, Central Asia, with its unique geopolitical position, its energy of high economic value, its sensitive religious and cultural characteristics, is destined to become a region targeted by the world’s great powers for its global strategic interests. After the September 11 terrorist attacks, by attacking Afghanistan in the name of global action against terrorism, the United States took the opportunity to strengthen close working relationships with Central Asian countries to ensure its influence in the region and to restrain Communist China. Under the influence of advocating a view of a harmonious world and implementing the Good Neighbor Policy, Central Asia has become one of the major concerns of China, where Shanghai Cooperation Organization was established to strengthen the partnership with the Central Asian countries, especially in the aspects of politics, security, trade, and energy. On the one hand, the organization aims to promote regional peace and stability and maintain the Communist Chinese Party’s national interests; on the other hand, the organization helps to have a breakthrough in countering the U.S. containment strategy. The study concludes that Communist China, as a newly developing world power, has emphasized her regional interests in Central Asia. China leaders’ views on the national security situation determine the main variables in her geopolitical strategy toward Central Asia. Communist China plans their Central Asia policies in accrodrance with the Central Asia’s geopolitical factor and their geostrategies. Different strategic thinking will have a great influence on the Communist Chinese Party’s diplomacy and strategy culture.
