In this episode of India & Global Left, we are joined by Lasha Kasradze to unpack the politics of the South Caucasus — Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. We trace how the post-Soviet transition shaped each country’s relationship with Russia and the United States, and how these dynamics continue to define the region today.
We discuss the recent shifts in foreign policy across the three states, the impact of the Ukraine war and Iran’s regional role, and the pressures of great power politics on small nations caught between East and West.
From security dilemmas to energy politics, this conversation explores the strategic crossroads of the South Caucasus — a region where global rivalries, local conflicts, and shifting alliances collide.
