Great Power Competition and the Path to Democracy: The Case of Georgia, 1991-2020

Zarina Burkadze

4.9/5 (24366 ratings)

Description:A close examination of the competing influences of the West and Russia over the fate of democracy in Georgia and other former Soviet bloc nations.Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, newly formed transitional regimes took up the challenging task of democratization, a task that was complicated by competition between great world powers over the future of such regimes. This book explores the effects and implications of competition between Russia and Western nations, with specific reference to democratization in the case of Georgia. In doing so, it challenges the conventional wisdom that competition between promoters of democracy and autocracy reduces the effectiveness of efforts toward democracy.Using the compelling example of Georgia, author Zarina Burkadze argues that great power competition may distribute political power in a way that causes a democratic regime to emerge, supporting her argument with evidence from an impressive array of archival sources as well as from sixty-six interviews with state officials, opposition leaders, foreign diplomats, media and nongovernmental representatives, and other experts. While the case study of Georgia is the central concern of the narrative, the book's final chapter provides an important cross-case comparison of democratization efforts in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and Ukraine.Contents:PrefaceAcronyms and AbbreviationsIntroduction: The Puzzle of Georgian DemocratizationChapter 1: Autocracy and Democracy in Georgia: What Made the Difference?Chapter 2: Democratization without Great Power Competition, 1991-1993Chapter 3: Pluralizing Geopolitical Space, 1993-2003Chapter 4: The Dictatorship of Democrats, 2003-2012Chapter 5 Democratic Arrival? 2012-2020Chapter 6: Democracies In-BetweenConclusionAppendix IBibliographyIndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
