2020-12-31 New Book by Prof. Vladimer Papava Another book - "Becoming European: Challenges for Georgia in the Twenty-First Century" by Professor Vladimer Papava has been published in USA. This book is a collection of electronic publications over the past 15 years. These articles are devoted to the political and economic problems of Post-Communist Georgia in the XXI century. For Georgia, even before the collapse of the USSR, and especially in the last years of its existence, the priority was an Euro-Atlantic orientation. Georgia's European path of development has not been an easy one. The formation of an European state in Post-Communist Georgia is associated with many difficult tasks, which solution is of paramount importance for the future of this country. On June 27, 2014, the EU-Georgia Association Agreement was signed in Brussels. The agreement opened up new opportunities for Georgia to integrate into the EU. At the same time, Georgia still needs to do a lot of work for a real rapprochement with the EU and this will require many years of hard work. Leading world professors and politologs have expressed their high appreciation for the book. Between them are:
—Jeffrey D. Sachs, University Professor, Columbia University, USA;
—S. Frederick Starr, Chairman, Central Asia-Caucasus Institute, Washington, D.C., USA and Stockholm, Sweden; —Anders Åslund, Senior Fellow, Atlantic Council, and Adjunct Professor, Georgetown University, USA; —Keith W. Crane, Senior Fellow, Science and Technology Policy Institute, Washington, DC, USA; —Paul Goble, Former Special Advisor on Soviet Nationalities at the US Department of State, and Adjunct Professor, Institute of World Politics, USA; —Paul Hare, Professor Emeritus, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK; —Stephen F. Jones, Professor, Russian and Eurasian Studies/International Relations, Mount Holyoke College, USA; —Neil Macfarlane, Professor of Oxford University, Oxford, UK;
—Thomas W. Simons, Jr., former U.S. Ambassador to Poland and Pakistan, Visiting Scholar, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University, USA; —Ben Slay, Senior Economist, UNDP Regional Bureau for Europe and CIS.
