Abstract
Güney Kafkasya bölgesi, binlerce yıldır Batı ve Doğu medeniyetleri arasında sınır rolü oynamıştır. Bölge, Sovyetler Birliği’nin dağılmasından sonra oluşturulan ve tarihsel konsolidasyon ve uluslararası yasal mutabakat gözetilmeksizin çizilen uluslararası sınırlar nedeniyle çatışmalarla doludur. AB’nin ihtilaf çözümüne yaklaşımı, siyasi meşruiyeti ve ekonomik gücü ile desteklenmektedir; bu, çatışma veya kriz alanlarında varlığını gösterme yeteneğini artırmaktadır. Ancak bölge ülkelerinin AB ile daha fazla bağ kurma arzusu olmasına rağmen, Birliğin güvenlik politikası ile Güney Kafkasya devletlerinin beklentileri arasında bir asenkronizasyon güvenlik durumuna neden olmaktadır. Neorealizmden pozitif barışa geçiş olmadığı sürece Güney Kafkasya ve çevresindeki güvenlik sorunları devam edecek gibi görünmektedir.

Abstract
The South Caucasus region has served as a frontier between Western and Eastern civilizations for millennia. The area is rife with conflict due to international borders drawn after the collapse of the Soviet Union, without regard to historical consolidation and international legal reconciliation. The EU’s approach to conflict resolution is underpinned by its political legitimacy and economic power, which enhance its ability to assert its presence in areas of conflict or crisis. However, while there is a desire among the region’s countries for greater engagement with the EU, there is an asynchrony between the Union’s security policy and the expectations of the South Caucasian states, resulting in an inefficient security situation. It seems that the security cacophony in and around the South Caucasus will continue unless there is a transition from neorealist behavior to positive peace and unless all actors change their foreign policy thinking.
