Concept to The Caucasian Bridge

Main Article Content

Abstract

The "Eurasian Balkans" region remains a focal point of global political and economic strategies due to its geographical, geopolitical, and geo-economic significance. Drawing on classical geopolitical theories by Mackinder and Spykman, this paper explores the strategic importance of the Heartland, with a specific focus on the Caucasus region, conceptualized as "Caucasusland." It discusses the role of the South Caucasus—termed the "Caucasian Bridge"—as a strategic axis in global politics, analyzing the interests and interventions of major powers, including Russia, the U.S., the European Union, and China. The study concludes with insights into potential alliances and tensions that shape the region's future, emphasizing the need for balanced strategies to avoid conflict escalation.

Author Biography

Jaba Tkemaladze, Longevity Clinic

Dr Jaba Tkemaladze is a Professor, a Scientist, and a President of Longevity Alliance Georgia.

Research Director at Longevity Clinic.

Replacing old adult stem cells with induced and safe young adult stem cells.

World-renowned scientist. Developed the Centriolar theory of differentiation and the Centriolar theory of organism ageing. With acquired experience in both academia and industry.

Training in medicine at Tbilisi State Medical University and then at the Psychiatry Research Institute further deepened my knowledge in the laboratory of the Institute of Morphology. Namely, combined experimental and computational methods to study the ageing process and the various ways of manipulating age-related diseases and improvement of human health.

Also served as a Scientific Advisory Board Member in Georgia's Ministry of Defense and Longevity Alliance. Published over 50 scientific articles, given over 100 invited talks and received several awards.

His Rejuvenation Formula: Rejuvenation = Replacement of old adult stem cells with Young, safe Adult Stem Cells induced from one's own cells.
