The book series European Studies in the Caucasus presents groundbreaking insights into regional studies of the Caucasus region. By recognizing the South Caucasus, Turkey, and Russia as significant regional powers, it departs from the conventional perspective of European Studies, which treats the countries in the region as mere subjects of Europeanization. This inaugural volume specifically highlights the exchange of ideas between Europe and the Caucasus, as well as the reciprocal influence between the Caucasus and Europe. This dual-track framework sheds light on various topics that demand reciprocity and intersubjectivity, such as the rivalries between different integration systems in the southern and eastern peripheries of Europe, the multifaceted interactions between the South Caucasus countries and the European Union in the context of the ongoing conflict with Russia, and the diverse approaches to utilizing European experiences for domestic reforms in the South Caucasus. The range of topics covered extends from identities to foreign policies, from memory politics to religion.
