Georgia: A Political History Since Independence

Georgia: A Political History Since Independence

Georgia emerged from the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991 with the promise of swift economic and democratic reform. But that promise remains unfulfilled. Economic collapse, secessionist challenges, civil war and the failure to escape the legacy of Soviet ruleâ€•culminating in the 2008 war with Russiaâ€•characterise a two-decade struggle to establish democratic institutions and consolidate statehood. Here, Stephen Jones critically analyses Georgiaâ€™s recent political and economic development, illustrating what its â€˜transitionâ€™ has meant, not just for the state, but for its citizens as well. An authoritative and commanding exploration of Georgia since independence, this is essential for those interested in the post-Soviet world.
