This intervention covers an intensified regionalization process in both Central/Eastern Europe and the Caucasus which will be an important feature as the Russia-West standoff evolves. Of course, both regional blocs are likely to face their own challenges and constraints; the Russia-Turkey relationship will have important bearings on political dynamics in the Caucasus, just as political volatility in Ukraine could complicate its energy and security integration efforts, and the EU and NATO will by no means completely cease to be active in this region. Nevertheless, the growth of regional cooperation in Eurasia is likely to be an increasingly prevalent phenomenon in the coming months and years.
