Great Power Competition and the Path to Democracy
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, newly formed transitional regimes took up the challenging task of democratization. Democracy promotion in some cases produced unintended consequences. A retrospective evaluation of the Georgian case shows that democracy emerged in Georgia partly as a result of competition between the West and Russia. This important book explores the conditions under which external pressures can lead to democracy and argues that competition between great powers incentivizes the emergence of policy compromises between local and external actors.
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2007
110th Congress, 2nd Session. Jacket 41-228PDF or 41-228 PDF. The promotion of human rights is an essential piece of our foreign policy. This effort will be a global one that reaches beyond government alone. The reports in this volume will be used as a resource for shaping policy, conducting diplomacy, and arranging assistance, training, and other resource allocations. The reports will also serve as a basis for the U.S. Government’s cooperation with private groups to promote the observance of internationally-recognized human rights. The Country Reports on Human Rights Practices cover internationally-recognized civil, political and worker rights, as set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These rights include freedom from torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; from prolonged detention without charges; from disappearance or clandestine detention; and from other flagrant violations of the right to life, liberty and the security of the person.
Stimmen aus Georgien
Dieses Buch widmet sich der Zeitgeschichte Georgiens von Stalins Tod im Jahre 1953 bis zur Gegenwart. Die Herausgeberin erschließt diese Geschichte über Interviews, die sie in den Jahren 2015 und 2016 geführt und aus dem Georgischen und Russischen ins Deutsche übersetzt hat. Sie adressieren das Georgien des Nachstalinismus, den dramatischen Weg Georgiens aus der Sowjetunion, sowie die Kriege der 1990er Jahre, die den Verlust Abchasiens und Südossetien brachten. Vor allem aber bieten sie einen aus Alltagserfahrungen geprägten Blick auf die Zeitgeschichte Georgiens.
