Geopolitics is a method of studying foreign policy to understand, explain and predict international political behavior through geographic variables. At present, this field of political science has gained special relevance since it is almost impossible to dissociate spatial-temporal relations from the development of states. The aim of this article is to discuss the main points and conceptual views of the geopolitical context of Azerbaijan. For this, the main research methods used were document analysis and historical analysis. The work identifies the main strengths and geopolitical risks of Azerbaijan as well as the historical factors that conditioned the emergence of the nation as one of the main actors in the Caucasus region. It is considered then that the implementation of the regional leadership of Azerbaijan should be carried out taking into account the following general principles: 1) disturbances in the balance of internal and external activities should not be allowed, 2) the mechanisms to regulate the application of interests Geopolitical activities must be adjusted to the international situation and to the practice of world powers, 3) the structure of activities must conform to the national potential of the country, internal needs and advantages in international processes. For this, the establishment of objectives must be conditioned by efficiency and the logic of need.
