The Case of Georgia and Lessons for the West

Diclaimer: This content was not edited by the German Council on Foreign relations (DGAP).

This publication by Eka Tkeshelashvili, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, and Zaza Bibilashvili, the Chairman of the Chavchavadze Center for European Studies and Civic Education, takes stock of Georgia's engagement with the West amid its democratic backsliding.
