“South Caucasus: Zone of Competition or Space for Peace?” — an interview with Georgiy Mchedlishvili

    In a new interview, political analyst Georgiy Mchedlishvili provides a detailed analysis of the current geopolitical situation in the South Caucasus — a region that in recent years has become a focal point where the interests of global and regional actors intersect.


    The interview covers:

    • Domestic political processes in Georgia;
    • The potential consequences of a war involving Iran for the countries of the South Caucasus, including security risks, changes in transport corridors, and migration;
    • How the security architecture of the South Caucasus has changed since the 2020 war;
    • Prospects for the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan;
    • The role of Georgia as a potential platform for regional dialogue;
    • The role of external actors in shaping a new regional agenda;
    • Relations between Georgia and NATO;
    • Economic and infrastructure projects that could transform the region’s strategic importance;
    • Possible scenarios for the development of the South Caucasus in the coming years.


    The expert also shares his perspective on whether the region can move from a logic of geopolitical rivalry toward sustainable peace and cooperation, or whether the South Caucasus will remain an arena of long-term strategic competition.
