Summary/Abstract: Georgia has long been a country with European aspirations. But it is still struggling with the legacy of a post-Soviet legal and political culture, with weak market institutions, and a low scaled economic and social development. It is thus unlikely to expect a rapid transformation. Nonetheless, Georgia has attempted to put itself on a track toward permanent rapprochement and gradual integration with the EU. Accession to the EU is considered to be a long-term goal.
