This book discusses the political and economic history and
geography of Georgia, the problems it has faced, and how it has
overcome and is still overcoming them. In most countries, at the
end of the 20th century the successful resolution of
social-economic, political, demographic and ecological problems was
largely dependent on effectively protecting the population and
economic assets from natural disasters and on ensuring conditions
for their sustainable development. These problems are most acute in
mountainous regions like Georgia, where the unplanned development
of natural ecosystems has had drastic consequences. It is therefore
necessary to understand not only the probability of changing
conditions (natural as well as political and demographic), but also
the probability of the resulting economic losses. The book is
divided into four sections; historical and political geography,
geological processes, ecological processes and developmental
geography. In the historical and political geography
section the authors present a detailed discussion on ancient
history, historical and political geography, ethnic groups
and religions, demographics and socio-cultural
geography. The geological processes section contains information on
geology, geodynamical processes, glacial and periglacial
processes. The ecological processes section examines a
variety of landscapes and ecosystems, aspects of deforestation,
reforestation and desertification along with anthropogenic impacts
on the environment. The developmental geography section looks at
different economies, natural resources, sustainable
development and climate change.
