Abstract

Regardless of all the clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia after the first war, the conflict in September 2020 which is also known as the Second Karabakh war, changed the power distribution of the South Caucasus. Iran's interests as a neighbor of both warring sides are directly related to this conflict. The main question that this study aims to answer is how has the 2020 Nagorno Karabakh war affected Iran’s geopolitical and geoeconomic interests in the South Caucuses? This study tries to analyze Iran’s geopolitical and geoeconomics interests that has been affected due to the Second Karabakh war based on Buzan four levels of analysis. The main hypothesis is that the second Nagorno-Karabakh war by changing the political and economic equations of the region has affected Iran's geopolitical and geoeconomic interests at domestic, regional, interregional, and global levels. This study tries to apply the explanatory method by analyzing books, articles, and reports.
