Over the last ten years, European views on the South Caucasus have repeatedly shifted. [...] After the signature of the 1994 so-called ‘Contract of the Century’ on the exploitation of Azeri oil reserves by Western companies, Western states came to view the region in more positive terms as a bridge linking different regions. However, after 11 September and the failure of domestic and regional reforms in the South Caucasus, the region is increasingly perceived in negative terms, primarily as a security threat. |
