Recognition of the EU’s Actorness in the Karabakh Peace Process by Azerbaijan

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study assesses the EU’s actorness in the resolution of the conflict in Karabakh with a focus on its recognition as a peace actor by the government of Azerbaijan. It builds on the criteria for measurement proposed by the actorness thesis and the previous academic literature to determine how the EU’s actorness changed in 2020 and how that impacted its recognition by the conflict actors. The study focuses on the external dimension of actorness, arguing that limited recognition of the EU as a peace actor by the Azerbaijani side restrained its involvement in the peace process as did the lack of coherence and cohesion in its engagement.
