Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Georgia -- a Caucasian republic with a fiercely independent national identity -- has sought its own special path to European modernity, a promised land of prosperity and peace. Foreign policy has sought to reconcile the dream of European identity with the reality of being a small, post-colonial nation that was governed from Russia for nearly two centuries and remains mired in border conflicts with Russia. In an era when Russian concerns about sovereignty are once again dominating geopolitics, this book interests historians, scholars of imperialism, and scholars of the former Soviet Union and its messy politics. Mariam Bibilashvili has a Ph.D. degree in Social Sciences from the University of Tsukuba, affiliated with the Special Program in Japanese and Eurasian Studies. 001450453 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001450453 651_0 $$aGeorgia (Republic)$$xForeign relations$$zRussia (Federation) 001450453 651_0 $$aRussia (Federation)$$xForeign relations$$zGeorgia (Republic) 001450453 651_0 $$aGeorgia (Republic)$$xForeign relations$$y1991- 001450453 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001450453 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBibilashvili, Mariam, author.$$tTowards the 'normal' state$$z9789811963322$$w(OCoLC)1346502903 001450453 830_0 $$aPolitics and History in Central Asia. 001450453 852__ $$bebk 001450453 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-19-6333-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001450453 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1450453$$pGLOBAL_SET 001450453 980__ $$aBIB 001450453 980__ $$aEBOOK 001450453 982__ $$aEbook 001450453 983__ $$aOnline 001450453 994__ $$a92$$bISE
