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 pertinent 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.

"This book skillfully charts the course of Georgia’s transitional economy, society and polity, offering a unique perspective from some of the country’s leading scholars. Collectively, the authors provide a nuanced analysis, surveying the past, critiquing the present and offering roadmaps to the future."—Dr. Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Associate Professor, Dublin City University
"This book—about Georgia, by Georgians, with insights that would escape outsiders—nevertheless is a richly rewarding read for a broader audience concerned about public policy and change. Scholars and practitioners interested in questions as diverse as voter turnout, women’s issues, educational reform, ethnic conflicts, environmental regulation, and preparation for employment in a changing economy–all will find thought-provoking research and new ideas in this volume."—Dr. Martha C. Merrill, Associate Professor, Kent State University
