Abstract

The Caspian Sea is a closed sea whose legal regime has not been determined until today. The main problem of the non-establishment of the Caspian legal regime is rooted in its geographical conditions. Convention 2891 left the establishment of the legal regime of the closed seas in the hands of its coastal countries. The lack of consensus on how to determine the boundaries turned the Caspian into one of the critical regions. The special geopolitical conditions after the collapse of the Soviet Union became the basis for territorialization, sphere of influence, and competition between regional powers. It challenged the past agreements and regional cooperation, including the determination of the legal regime, and was able to delay it. . The aim of the current research is to explain the geopolitical lessons of legal studies in the Caspian region The following article seeks to examine the experiences and lessons learned related to the legal agreements of the Caspian Sea, focusing on its political aspects.
