Abstract

Georgia’s elite is more interested in modernizing the country than democratizing it. They sought to achieve a society transformation, restore the country’s territorial unity, and modernize it all at once. However, the August 2008 war with Russia has exhausted the leadership and undermined its key accomplishments – establishing effective state institutions and securing public confidence in them. The regime is now ready to go back on its previous reforms in order remain in power. To this end, it has even sought to improve relations with the Georgian Orthodox church.
