But that promise remains unfulfilled. Economic collapse, secessionist challenges, civil war and the failure to escape the legacy of Soviet rule &#8211; culminating in the 2008 war with Russia &#8211; characterize a two-decade struggle to establish democratic institutions and consolidate statehood. Here, Stephen Jones critically analyses Georgia&#8217;s recent political and economic development, illustrating what its &#8216;transition&#8217; has meant, not just for the state, but for its citizens as well. An authoritative&nbsp;and commanding exploration of Georgia since independence, this is essential for those interested in the post-Soviet world.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author:&nbsp;Stephen F.
