| The European Union (EU) is widely recognized as the most advanced model of regional integration. Far less attention, however, has been paid to its role as a regionalizing actorâ projecting its regional logic outward and making regionalization a pillar of foreign policy. In this capacity, the EU pursues a twofold approach: clustering states into shared policy frameworks for efficiency, while also promoting cooperation inspired by its own integration experience. This book examines how these dynamics unfold in the post-Soviet South Caucasusâ Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Here, â regionâ is less an organic reality than a political construction: Regional identity is contested, historical disputes continue to shape inter-state relations, foreign policy trajectories diverge, and the area is subject to competing external influences. By analyzing how regionalization is embedded in the EUâ s foreign policy instruments, and tracing its evolution over time, the study identifies recurring patterns and develops a conceptual framework for understanding the EUâ s regionalization practices, with insights from the South Caucasus potentially extending to other contested regions. |
