Abstract

Empirical data for the time span since Azerbaijan’s independence suggests the country has had some success in curbing its greenhouse gas emissions. The key aim of this chapter is to empirically shed light on whether international pressure and the eagerness of government officials to gain legitimacy have played a role in this achievement. This chapter also examines theoretically why and how authoritarian governments pursue legitimacy through international involvement and how they react to international pressures/trends. Azerbaijan has been pressured by the West for not respecting human rights and democracy. This chapter also examines various undemocratic actions of the government and international reactions to them. This “process-tracing” considers how far international pressure worked to bring about changes in the issues of human rights and democracy in Azerbaijan; this technique helps to test whether international pressure has at all forced the regime to modify its policies on these issues.
