Georgia A Country Study is a comprehensive book that provides an in-depth look at the history, culture, geography, politics, and economy of the country of Georgia. Written by Glenn E. Curtis, a former Foreign Service officer with extensive experience in the region, the book covers a wide range of topics, from the country's ancient history and rich cultural heritage to its recent political and economic developments. The book begins with an overview of Georgia's geography, including its physical features, climate, and natural resources. It then delves into the country's history, from its earliest civilizations to its modern-day independence and democratic reforms. The book also covers important cultural aspects of Georgia, such as its language, religion, arts, and cuisine. The political section of the book covers the country's government structure, political parties, and foreign relations, including its relationship with Russia and its aspirations for closer ties with the West. The book also explores the challenges that Georgia has faced in its post-Soviet transition, such as corruption, poverty, and ethnic tensions. Finally, the book provides an in-depth analysis of Georgia's economy, including its main industries, trade relations, and investment climate. It also examines the role of international organizations such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in supporting Georgia's economic development. Overall, Georgia A Country Study is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex history, culture, and politics of this fascinating country. It is written in a clear and accessible style, with numerous maps, charts, and photographs to help readers visualize and understand the country's diverse landscape and people.In the early 1990s, the Caucasus took its place among the regions of the world having violent post-Cold War ethnic conflict. Several wars broke out in the region once Soviet authority ceased holding the lid on disagreements that had been fermenting for decades. (Joseph V. Stalin's forcible relocation of ethnic groups after the redrawing of the region's political map was a chief source of the friction of the 1990s.) Thus, the three republics devoted critical resources to military campaigns in a period when the need for internal restructuring was paramount.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
