Summary:

After the break-up of the USSR, the former Soviet countries took different paths. While many of them face severe economic problems or have become only questionably democratic, Georgia's socio-political development has become a relatively successful post-Soviet transition story. A deeper understanding of Georgia can offer insights that are also useful for other transitional and developing states. Many of the good governance implications of the research papers assembled in this volume are highly relevant to the broader Caucasus region and other post-Communist countries. The contributions deal with central issues per?ti?nent to Georgian public policy, administration, and politics, as well as to Georgia's ongoing struggle for independence and democracy. The collection illustrates a particularly revealing case in the comparative study of modern governance.
