The Perspectives of the Middle Corridor In an Age of Global Confrontation and Uncertainty

Social Justice, Economy and Labor, Peace and Security, Regional, Georgia, Publication
 

This study focuses on the challenges and prospects of the Middle Corridor. Although this trade route has been under development for some time, its full potential remains largely untapped.

While this study addresses the Middle Corridor as a whole, it places particular emphasis on Georgia. The primary reason for this focus is Georgia‘s unique vulnerability among the stakeholder countries. However, Georgia’s strategic geographic position gives it a crucial role in enhancing the corridor’s overall capacity, - most notably through the development of the Anaklia sea port, a major infrastructure project on the country’s Black Sea coast.
