Hazar'da bölgeselcilik: Türk örneği

This thesis analyzes the process of regionalism and argues that the theories in the literature are not able to provide a path for the Caspian littorals to set their own ?region.? The method offered here is Turkey?s Three Stage Plan that focuses on sharing the waters of the Euphrates and Tigris with Syria and Iraq. The Plan is based on gathering data on river regimes, analyzing the climate and soil throughout the rivers and allocating the water of the rivers among the riparians on a needs based approach. The study focuses on simlarities between water and hydrocarbons, sets why the European Union cannot be a model for the Caspian and explores the applicability of the Three Stage Plan in the Caspian.
