This article analyzes the comparative advantages of the Central Caucasian states. Keeping in mind the geopolitical and geo-economic factors influencing the states of the region, it identifies the comparative advantages of its countries in terms of potential, realized, and missed opportunities. It focuses particular attention on the development of the Central Caucasus’ transportation and communication networks. The comparative advantages of the region’s states can only be optimally realized if the territorial conflicts, which are having a negative effect on the development of these countries, are settled.
