This paper tends to investigate new geopolitical and geo-economic dynamics of the South Caucasus based on the second Karabakh War and the Russia-Ukraine War (2022) with a focus on the Zangzor Corridor project. The importance of the research lies in the fact that so far most of the research conducted in this field has been examined based on the classical theories of international relations literature. However, with the intensification of the war between Russia and Ukraine (2022) more attention is paid to alternative and safe routes, including alternative transit routes in the South Caucasus due to its intermediate position in the neighboring regional systems. Accordingly, the main question the paper tries to answer based on the analytical model of Multiplex Networked Regionalism is what the effect of the Multiplex Networked Regionalism of Russia and Turkey is on the Zangzor Corridor project. The main dissertation is that Multiplex Networked Regionalism of Russia and Turkey due to the interference of their regional policies in the South Caucasus and the formation of complementary behavioral patterns with partners and a strategic alternative for competitors can better meet the existing realities and explain the behavior patterns of the two actors in a structured and multifaceted manner.
