abstract = {This article examines the recent shifts in Azerbaijan’s balancing of relations between Russia and the West.
It argues that the Azerbaijani elite have been undergoing a shift from placing more emphasis on its relations
with the West, towards an emerging strategic accord with Moscow. There are both micro- and macrogeopolitical
developments driving this process. On a micro-level, the Azeri elite has gradually come to distrust
the West’s intention to and capability of supporting them in their core security and state development
aims. From a macro-perspective, shifts in geopolitical alliances around Azerbaijan are acting to attract Baku
towards Moscow, and away from Brussels and Washington.},
