Abstract

The latest Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center issue brief, “Six Months of Georgian Dreams: The State of Play and Ways Forward,” by assistant director Laura Linderman, reviews key developments following Georgia’s October democratic transfer of power.

The country is now at a key strategic moment and has an opportunity to address the substantive issues and challenges it faces. Linderman looks at the new government and its members, discusses cohabitation, reviews the regional situation, and explores what this means for US interests in the region.
