里海是被称为“第二个中东”的能源“聚宝盆”。随着1991年前苏联的解体,此区域利益和冲突的“潘多拉之盒”被开启了,里海沿岸的国家围绕着里海石油的开采和输出、里海水域和资源的划分及归属问题进行了激烈的争论。而一些大国的介入,更让里海的能源开发添上了浓重的政治色彩,使里海的利益博弈进入了一个风云变幻的时代。 Caspian Sea is known as the “second Middle East” energy “cornucopia.” With the disintegration of the former Soviet Union in 1991, the “Pandora’s Box” for the interests and conflicts in the region was opened up. The countries along the Caspian Sea revolved around the exploitation and export of oil in the Caspian Sea, the division and ownership of the waters and resources in the Caspian Sea debate. With the intervention of some major powers, moreover, the Caspian Sea energy development has added a heavy political flavor, making Caspian Sea’s interest game enter an era of ever-changing conditions.
