The book series European Studies in the Caucasus presents groundbreaking insights into regional studies of the Caucasus region. By encompassing the South Caucasus, Turkey, and Russia, it deviates from the conventional perspective of European Studies, which treats these countries as mere subjects of Europeanization. This second volume exemplifies this approach by examining various forms of inter-regionalism in the Black Sea-South Caucasus area, including economic cooperation, Europeanization of energy and environmental policies, and the region's portrayal in the development of a new German Eastern Policy.

In the section on norm diffusion, the contributors analyze the EU's normative power strategy and its paradoxes in the region, its impact on civil society development in Armenia, and democracy promotion in Georgia.

The section on legal approximation delves into issues such as a global climate change regime and competition law in Georgia, as well as penitentiary governance reform in the South Caucasus aligned with EU standards and policies. Additionally, all contributions provide a review of regional or local contestations related to the topics discussed herein.

This book series is a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and policymakers seeking to understand the complex dynamics and multifaceted challenges of the Caucasus region. By offering innovative perspectives and rigorous analysis, it contributes to a deeper understanding of this region's historical, political, and social developments.
