{"product_id":"georgia-stephen-jones-9781784530853","title":"Georgia A Political History Since Independence","description":"Georgia emerged from the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991 with the promise of swift economic and democratic reform. But that promise remains unfulfilled. Economic collapse, secessionist challenges, civil war and the failure to escape the legacy of Soviet rule - culminating in the 2008 war with Russia - characterise a two-decade struggle to establish democratic institutions and consolidate statehood. Here, Stephen Jones critically analyses Georgia's recent political and economic development, illustrating what its 'transition' has meant, not just for the state, but for its citizens as well. An authoritative and commanding exploration of Georgia since independence, this is essential for those interested in the post-Soviet world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784530859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784530853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 1.30d","brand":"Stephen Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131153674495,"sku":"9781784530853","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f9a64eb-a471-4b24-a1eb-b74a9f962a8d.jpg?v=1687473317","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/georgia-stephen-jones-9781784530853","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
