About this ebook
CORRIDOR examines how the Caspian Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea have become parts of a single strategic system of trade, infrastructure and geopolitical risk.
War, sanctions, energy flows, ports, railways and maritime chokepoints are reshaping more than individual routes. They are changing the architecture of trade linking Central Asia, the Caucasus, Russia, Türkiye and Europe.
Alexander Brovkin follows the corridors through which oil, grain, containers and strategic commodities move, revealing how ports, pipelines, rail networks and alternative routes can become instruments of economic and geopolitical power.
The book explores what happens when established routes become vulnerable, when infrastructure acquires strategic value, and when the cost of reliability begins to matter as much as distance.
CORRIDOR is a book about global trade, shipping, logistics, energy, infrastructure and geopolitics—and about a world in which the most important route may no longer be the shortest one, but the one that remains open.
