Abstract: In the era of multipolar world order 2.0, the Russia-Ukraine War and the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict led to changes in Russia's political status and influence in the South Caucasus and Central Asia. Other extraterritorial powers adjusted their policies in these regions accordingly based on their respective geostrategic goals and limitations. This lecture will introduce the background, situation and possible trends of contemporary geopolitics in the South Caucasus and Central Asia.
