Regional integration and economice development aspects: The Case of Azerbaijan in the EU Eastern Partnership
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines Azerbaijan’s participation in the European Union’s Eastern Partnership (EaP) from a comparative perspective. It is argued that Azerbaijan is in a more advantageous position due to its unique geopolitical role and resource capabilities. Integration strategies: Azerbaijan combines economic pragmatism with strategic selectivity. Its vast energy resources and position as a key transport corridor between Europe and Asia allow Azerbaijan to contribute to Europe’s energy security and regional relations directly. The analysis shows that Azerbaijan’s integration model, which balances cooperation with the EU and the protection of national interests, offers greater flexibility and sustainability compared to its EaP counterparts. The results show that Azerbaijan has the potential not only to benefit from regional integration but also to influence its direction, presenting itself as a key player within the EaP and a driving force for sustainable regional development.
