“…It may account for Azerbaijan's ability to consistently resist the influence of foreign powers, including the EU's democratization attempts and Russia's appeals for comprehensive economic partnership. 11 Rather than consider the EU's proposed Association Agreement (AA) and Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area agreement (DCFTA) 12 , Azerbaijan instead offered its own alternative partnership model, the Strategic Modernisation Partnership (SMP) (Van Gils 2018b, 1576.

The book series European Studies in the Caucasus offers innovative perspectives on regional studies of the Caucasus. By embracing the South Caucasus as well as Turkey and Russia, it moves away from a traditional viewpoint of European Studies that considers the countries of the region as objects of Europeanization. This second volume demonstrates this by looking into forms of inter-regionalism in the Black Sea–South Caucasus area in fields of economic cooperation, Europeanization of energy and environmental policies, discussing how the region is addressed in the elaboration of a new German Eastern Policy. In the section on norm diffusion, the contributors assess the normative power strategy of the EU and its paradoxes in the region, its impact on civil society development in Armenia, and democracy promotion in Georgia. In the section on legal approximation, issues of a global climate change regime and competition law in Georgia as well as penitentiary governance reform in the South Caucasus according to EU standards and policies are analyzed. All contributions also review regional or local contestations for the topics discussed here.
