Georgia is one of the most corrupt and crime-ridden nations of the
former Soviet Union. In the Soviet period, Georgians played a major
role in organized crime groups and the shadow economy operating
throughout the Soviet Union, and in the post-Soviet period, Georgia
continues to be important source of international crime and
corruption. Important changes have been made since the Rose
Revolution in Georgia to address the organized crime and pervasive
corruption. This book, based on extensive original research,
surveys the most enduring aspects of organized crime and corruption
in Georgia and the most important reforms since the Rose
Revolution. Endemic crime and corruption had a devastating effect
on government and everyday life in Georgia, spurring widespread
popular discontent that culminated with the Rose Revolution in
2003. Some of the hopes of the Rose Revolution have been realized,
though major challenges lie ahead as Georgia confronts deep-seated
crime and corruption issues that will remain central to political,
economic, and social life in the years to come.
