Notes

1 By comparing the EU to a metrosexual man based on the example of football player David Beckham, the author argues that the EU has become more effective in spreading its message than the US because, unlike the latter, it uses both its “hard power and its sensitive side” (p. 66) of a norm generator and promoter.

2 The European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights was renamed into European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights in 2007.

3 The UfM was created in July 2008 as a relaunched Barcelona process. However, the 2009 and 2010 summits were not held due to the stalemate of the Arab–Israeli peace process. In addition, the Arab revolutions seem to add “the last nail in the UM coffin” (Torreblanca and Fanes 2011).

4 The efforts of Armenian-American lobby managed to exclude Azerbaijan from participation in the FSA under Section 907 due to the latter’s blockade of Armenia as a result of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. However, in return for Azerbaijan’s cooperation in the War on Terror, in 2001 the Senate granted the president with the possibility of a waiver to Section 907, which has since been used in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.

6 After his appointment as prime minister, Putin announced an unapologetic fight against terrorism and his call for “killing [terrorists] in the toilet” made on September 24, 1999 made media headlines. See www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_PdYRZSW-I
