After twenty-two years of negotiations, in Aktau on August 12, 2018, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Russia, and Turkmenistan signed the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea. The preamble of the Convention stipulates, among other things, that the Convention, made up of twenty-four articles, was agreed on by the five states based on principles and norms of the Charter of the United Nations and International Law. The enclosed Caspian Sea is bordered by Iran, Russia, and three states that were established following dissolution of the Soviet Union, namely Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in late 1991, the Caspian Sea region has been seen as a potential major oil and natural gas reservoir. For more than a decade, the five nations that share the Caspian—Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan—have sought to develop the basin’s hydrocarbon resources. This paper provides an assessment of these resources and examines two major hurdles: lack of consensus on the legal status of the Caspian and disagreement of the most cost effective pipeline routes. It argues that oil and natural gas from the Caspian is certain to contribute to global energy security. However, the Caspian Sea should not be seen as a replacement to the Persian Gulf.

The Military

Caspian region has always been a point of intersection of interests for multiple states. Throughout all historical periods, the presence of influential states in the Caspian Sea coast led to escalation of tension in the region. Such factors as heterogenic population of littoral states and differences in mentality further aggravated the situation. Thus, the military-political activity of the Caspian states has always been of paramount importance. The significance of military-political activity for the countries of Caspian Basin was substantiated by the following key factors: concentration of the majority of explored hydrocarbon deposits of these countries on its continental shelf; presence of substantial reserves of various biological resources in the waters of Caspian Sea; location of the region on the junction of important geopolitical paths; largely populated coastal regions. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and formation of new states in the region, this activity acquired a special character.

This study focuses on the question of the role of the Caspian Sea at a large scale in the current Russian foreign policy. It is noted that though in the historical perspective the Caspian Sea basin had been totally dominated by Russia since the beginning of the 19th century, this domination was contested and considerably reduced after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Paradoxically, in parallel for various reasons exposed in the paper, the Caspian Sea gained more importance in the Russian foreign policy giving rise to new challenges for the future of the Russian power in the region.

Recovery Approach

The ideas of ‘recovery’ arise from the experiences of people with mental health problems. The recovery approach emerged in the North American civil rights and consumer and survivor movements from the 1970s onwards. It is concerned with social justice, individual rights, citizenship, equality, freedom from prejudice and discrimination. In this paper we discuss a project in England that has examined how mental health services may be transformed to be more supportive of recovery and the implications that this has for professional practice.

Medication Reviews

AimsTo check the extent to which National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines were being followed in clinical practice with regards to prescribing antipsychotic medication to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) patients with a diagnosed learning disability (LD).MethodA data collection tool (based on a similar Royal College of Psychiatrists [RCPsych] audit) was filled out with retrospective data from patients’ clinical records, then analysed using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Powerpoint.The agreed standards were the NICE guidelines.There were no ethical issues as the data were retrospective and anonymised.Sample size was 13, comprising 7 males and 6 females.All service users were less than 18 years of age.Result7 out of the 13 patients who were prescribed antipsychotics had a Severe/Profound LD.Among the 5 patients who had been prescribed antipsychotic medication, 4 were on Risperidone and 2 were on Aripiprazole. The reasons for starting antipsychotic medication were clearly documented for all 5, the most common reasons being overt aggressive behaviour and general agitation/anxiety.Only 1 patient had antipsychotic medication initiated in the previous 12 months. NICE guidelines had been generally followed for the management of this case, with good documented evidence.For the other 4 patients, in whom antipsychotic medication was initiated more than 12 months ago, there was a lack of documentation of the subsequent assessment of side effects, extra-pyramidal side effects, body weight, blood pressure, glycaemic control and lipid profile. 1 of these patients did not have a documented review of antipsychotic medication in the previous 6 months. For the other 3 patients, their medication reviews did not consider whether to reduce the dose or stop antipsychotic medication.1 patient had been transferred to primary care, with a clear transfer of prescribing responsibility and documented evidence that written guidance was provided to primary care which addressed all the necessary management details.ConclusionAlthough there was clear documentation of reasons for initiating antipsychotics, there appeared to be a lack of awareness of NICE guidelines for antipsychotic medication reviews, side effect and metabolic markers assessment, and their documentation. This is an area for potential change in practice to conform better to national guidelines and improve patient care.

Census Form

The article examines the adequacy of contemporary estimates of the total population of the Soviet Union based on the 1939 census. To do so, it analyzes the instructions for filling in the census form. Comparison of the better worded 1959 census instructions with the poorly worded instructions of the 1939 census shows that the latter created possibilities for double counting of the population. These findings confirm the validity of the lowest estimate of the total population of the USSR based on the 1939 census, given by the famous Russian demographer Andrei G. Volkov, which stood at only 167.6 million people. The impact of the inter-republic reallocation of prisoners’ census forms was also estimated. For the entire population of Russia these estimates do not, for most indicators, change the picture previously known from the official census results. On the other hand, for Ukraine and especially Kazakhstan, the recalculations produced noticeable changes, in some cases resulting in significant corrections of the composition of the pre-war population.
