Vorwort

The RSSC SG met for its 25th workshop in Tbilisi, Georgia, to discuss the future of the South Caucasus in the context of the erosion of Russian hegemony in the region. The continuing war in Ukraine and the upheaval which it has created in the geostrategic and geopolitical environment cannot be ignored, as there is empirical evidence that other regional actors are seeking to take advantage of Russia’s weakness.
