Exploring how Russia and Turkey have shaped the contestation of democracy across South-Eastern Europe and Eurasia over the past two decades, Sonja Katharina Schiffers examines the pivotal role of gatekeeper elites in Georgia and Bosnia, how their choices enable or resist authoritarian and illiberal external influence, and assesses the counterpressure exerted by the EU and US.
Drawing on nearly one hundred exclusive interviews, this book offers a detailed account of Russian and Turkish external influence and its consequences for democracy in Bosnia and Georgia since the early 2000s. Combining rigorous analysis with practical insights, this book delivers compelling policy recommendations for those committed to defending liberal democracies.SONJA KATHARINA SCHIFFERS is Director at the Heinrich Böll Foundation Tbilisi Office
- South Caucasus Region, Georgia. Previously, Schiffers worked on foreign policy and
Eastern European Affairs with Alliance 90/The Greens Parliamentary Group and a Green
Member of the German Bundestag. She was a member of the Advisory Board to the
German Government for Civilian Crisis Prevention and Peacebuilding between 2018-2024.
