EUROPEAN REGULATIONS OF MINORITIES FROM THE GEORGIAN PERSPECTIVES

  • Zviad Abashidze Tbilisi State University

Abstract

The aim of the article is to clarify the main trends of politics and policies on ethnic minorities in Georgian post-socialist key. The civic integration and ethnic fragmentation is turned out as one of the chief challenges for successful democratic state-building in Georgia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The general problem of statness and weaknesses of the political institutions have been the cornerstones of such challenges. Therefore, without the overcoming the “failed state” syndrome, there is no real perspectives of future successful civic integration. Despite of certain improvements in the sphere, the challenge has remained as deep and sharp.
