Abstract

This article discusses the decision of the government of Kazakhstan to create a navy. Most of Kazakhstan's oil wealth lies around and in the Caspian sea, which also borders Iran, Russia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.The country's authorities say they want to protect western investments and keep smuggling and other shady activities in check. Kazakhstan's decision adds to the increasing militarisation of the Caspian area. Yet there is a continuing dispute over the delineation of national borders within the sea -- with big implications for its oilfields. Kazakhstan says the decision is not directed at other Caspian states. According to Robert McMullin of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, establishing a better balance of power in the Caspian may help promote stability. Fuzzy borders could make the operation of the navy tricky -- although at least Kazakhstan and Russia agreed on a dividing line last year. Russia, Turkey and the United States, which has just sealed a five-year military agreement with Kazakhstan, have all promised to help.
