Public Policy and Politics in Georgia Lessons from Post-Soviet Transition

"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
