The Future of Georgia

Eastblog Article by Johannes Leitner and Ana Todua

Ana Todua and Johannes Leitner analyse the political situation in Georgia following the parliamentary elections on 26 October 2024 and their significance for the country's future foreign policy. The elections are controversial and there are serious allegations of electoral offences. Nevertheless, the ruling party ‘Georgian Dream’ insists that it won the election de facto, which led to nationwide protests. The article describes the party's ‘multi-vector foreign policy’, which pursues both rapprochement with Russia and Euro-Atlantic integration. This contradictory strategy is presented as problematic, as it leaves the country's geopolitical orientation unclear. Which strategy is to be expected can be read in the article.
