It analyzes the historical context of the conflict, emphasizing issues of territorial integrity, sovereignty, and international law. The study evaluates the evolution of the EU’s foreign policy toward the South Caucasus, particularly through the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and the Eastern Partnership. Despite the EU’s limited involvement during the conflict, its growing strategic interests have led to a more active engagement in post-conflict recovery and regional stability. The EU’s approach prioritizes social learning and passive enforcement mechanisms over direct intervention, promoting dialogue, democratic governance, and adherence to international norms. The article concludes that the EU’s effectiveness lies in prevention and reconstruction rather than in resolving entrenched geopolitical disputes.}, number={5}, publisher={Hakan YILMAZ}
