The post-Soviet country of Georgia has generated surprise upon
surprise. Its Rose Revolution in 2003 marked the first time an
existing leadership of a post-Soviet state was forced to surrender
power peacefully. The new leadership of Western-educated Mikheil
Saakashvili initiated wide-ranging domestic reforms, including a
large-scale, unprecedented anti-corruption drive. It also
intensified relations with the West and sought membership of the EU
and NATO. The Georgian leadership's expressed aim of re-integrating
territories lost in wars in the early 1990s resulted in a
devastating conflict with Russia in 2008. All these developments,
and their wider implications, receive careful yet readable
attention in this collection by a truly international and
specialist group of authors and practitioners. The book offers a
spectrum of opinion and compelling insight into the events and
decisions that have recently shaped this fascinating yet
understudied country, and placed it at the forefront of interest in
the changes transforming post-Soviet Eurasia. This book is based on
a special issue of European Security.
