Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American policy towards the development of the Caspian oil and natural gas industry seeks the total exclusion of Iran and the promotion of Turkey as the provider of the main export route. This has proven to be incompatible with the Caspian region's political and economic realities. If continued, Peimani asserts, instead of isolating Iran, this policy will lead to the political isolation of the United States in the Caspian Sea region and the gradual exclusion of American oil companies.
