NATO’s Enlargement and Georgia’s Chances of Integration into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
One of the main foreign policy priorities of the Georgian government is to integrate the country into Euro – Atlantic structures. Although Georgia has made important progress in creating democratic institutions and in the transition towards democracy, many obstacles remain that prevent the country to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. From these obstacles special attention should be paid to the Russian factor, as well as to internal problems such as ethnic conflicts with breakaway regions, fragile democratic institutions and political instability. Although Georgia has made some progress towards building democracy, it is still regarded as a hybrid regime and a lot has to be done to transform the country into liberal democracy.
