 abstract = {Azerbaijan eagerly joined the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) because doing so helped
legitimate the election of President Ilham Aliev in 2003. Since EITI focused on transparency in government
revenue, it did not harm the elite’s ability to spend state money in corrupt ways. Accordingly, the initiative
failed to ensure that oil money went to society’s benefit and, as the government began to intensify its crackdown
on local civil society, EITI downgraded Azerbaijan from its once exalted status. Since Azerbaijan now
views itself as a rising regional power, and is less concerned about its standing within the international community,
it is not clear if the EITI downgrade will influence government actions.},
