However, the European Union supports actively the transformation of the postsoviet states and stimulates democracy, political and economic stability, and the participation of civil society. This contribution argues that Europeanization is successful only if domestic actors back this process without concrete incentives and if they have the chance to interact. Since the situation in the countries of the Southern Caucasus is quite diverse, Europeanization will probably make the region more heterogeneous.}, journal = {integration}, pages = {301--316}, author = {Leiße, Olaf}, volume = {41}, number = {4} }
