From ‘Unilateral’ to ‘Dialogical’: Determinants of EU–Azerbaijan Negotiations

Eske van Gils

Europe-Asia Studies, 2018, vol. 70, issue 10, 1572-1596

Abstract: The European Union (EU) and Azerbaijan have negotiated three different agreements for a new legal basis underpinning their relationship since 2010. Whereas the EU tries to adhere to a more unilateral approach, Azerbaijan wants cooperation to take place on a more inclusive, dialogical, basis. The essay will present a model of ‘bargaining power’ to analyse how the Azerbaijani government has tried to enforce this, and to what degree it has been successful. It finds that the bargaining power model can explain some of the changing power dynamics in EU–Azerbaijan relations, and that these might speak to the broader Eurasian region too.
