Deepening EU-Georgian Relations : Updating and Upgrading in the Shadow of Covid-19, Paperback / softback Book

Deepening EU-Georgian Relations : Updating and Upgrading in the Shadow of Covid-19 Paperback / softback

Edited by Michael Emerson, Tamara Kovziridze

Paperback / softback

Description

For Georgia, the signing of the Association Agreement and the DCFTA with the European Union in 2014 was an act of strategic geopolitical significance.

Of all the EU's eastern partners, the country distinguished itself since the Rose Revolution of 2003 by pushing ahead with a radical liberalisation and economic reform agenda.

Georgia is unique among the countries in the region for having largely cleansed its economy of corruption in the post-Rose Revolution period, although its political system is marked by oligarchal state capture since the change of government in 2012. The purpose of this Handbook is to make the complex political, economic and legal content of the Association Agreement readily understandable.

This third edition, published seven years since signature of after entry into force of the Agreement's implementation is substantially new in content, both updating how Georgia has been implementing the Agreement, and introducing new dimensions (including the Green Deal, the Covid-19 pandemic, cyber security, and gender equality).

The Handbook is also up to date in analysing Georgia's troubled democracy.

Two teams of researchers from leading independent think tanks, CEPS in Brussels and Reformatics in Tbilisi, collaborated on this project, with the support of the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida).

This Handbook is one of a trilogy examining similar Association Agreements made by the EU with Ukraine and Moldova.
