Relevance. Today, the Caspian region has a fairly high potential in terms of legal and economic development, not only for the Russian Federation, but also for other states that are part of its geographical location. The issues of the necessity and specifics of concluding business agreements and an agreement between these states are quite difficult due to the presence of a very large number of different kinds of legal, economic, social and political characteristics of each State, which have a direct impact on the possibility of concluding an appropriate agreement. The purpose of this study is to determine the widest range of various circumstances that affect the process of concluding business contracts and agreements between the states of the Caspian region.
