Energy Security in the South Caucasus: The Southern Gas Corridor in its geopolitical environment
Abstract: The Southern Gas Corridor was initiated by the European Commission to develop the necessary infrastructure between the wider Caspian region and Europe, in large part in order to diversify the EU’s supply of gas away from Russia. Given this goal, discussion of the corridor and its key pipeline, the Nabucco project, have been politicized from the very beginning. The selection of the much smaller TAP and TANAP pipelines over Nabucco is above all an economic decision by the participating companies, which illustrates the limits of political influence on such expensive and complex investments. At the moment Azerbaijan is the only contributor to the Southern Gas Corridor, a country whose main interests are in further diversifying its export paths away from Russian pipelines and earning money in the EU. Nevertheless, the entire region - with Iranian, Iraqi, and Caspian gas - has huge energy potential for the EU
