Jonathan Wheatley examines the tortuous process of regime change in
Georgia from the first pro-independence protests of 1988 to the
aftermath of the so-called Rose Revolution in 2004. It is set
within a comparative framework that includes other transition
countries, particularly those in the former Soviet Union. The book
provides two important theoretical innovations: the notion of a
regime, which is an under-theorized concept in the field of
transition literature, and O'Donnell, Schmitter and Karl's notion
of a dynamic actor-driven transition. The volume turns to the
structural constraints that framed the transition in Georgia and in
other republics of the former Soviet Union by looking at the state
and society in the USSR at the close of the Soviet period. It
examines the evolution and nature of the Georgian regime, and
ultimately addresses the theoretical and empirical problems posed
by Georgia's so-called Rose Revolution following the falsification
of parliamentary elections by the incumbent authorities.
