UNITED STATES-RUSSIAN CONFLICT OVER WEALTH AND OIL IN CENTRAL ASIA AND THE CAUCASUS

Аннотация

In this article, the authors consider energy as a political force. In their article, the
researchers note that from a political, economic and environmental point of view, energy security is one of
the most important problems facing all countries of the world. In the study, the authors argue that in recent
years, the United States, in turn, has experienced skyrocketing energy prices and geopolitical competition
from Russia for energy resources, including energy security, resulting in a conflict of interest.
In this case, the article clearly shows that energy security is becoming a serious problem in the world
due to the rapid growth in demand for natural fuels. In fact, Central Asia and the Caucasus are the regions
where the geopolitics and competition between the United States and Russia are most influenced by their
vast energy resources and strategic position. The authors conclude that Central Asia and the Caucasus are
of particular interest to the United States and Russia, while Central Asia and the Caucasus is one of the best
options for Russia, China, and the United States.
