ANALYSIS OF THE FOREIGN POLICY OF AZERBAIJAN IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF INTERDEPENDENCE THEORY.

Increasing interdependence after the end of the Cold War due to emergence of new issues and new actors has lead totraditional state-centric approach hypothesizes in analysis of the international system to fall short. In the issues where the states that are key actors of the international system fall behind and come short, undertaking of these functions by non-state actors has made the approach to the interdependence theory important. While the foreign policy of Azerbaijan may also be clarified by various approaches, this paper studies it in the Perspective of Interdependence Theory. It is believed that this theory is the most explanatory one in clarification of the matters happened since the start of independence until today. Any theory, when clarifying the foreign policy of any country, should have a sufficient capacity to clarify many affairs of longer term in the process of foreign policy, rather than clarifying a short term or single matter. That’s why Azerbaijan intends to settle the economic relations it has developed on the basis of interdependence, its relations with international organizations, and even the NagornoKarabakh problem which is one of the most important problems in the both domestic and foreign policies on the basis of interdependence also with contribution of international law, with an active participation of international organizations.
