Euro-Atlantic Discourse in Georgia
«’A highly timely, scholarly contribution on the 'Europeanness' of Georgia, and as such of the utmost importance for both Georgia and the European Union itself. As Georgia begins to implement its very bureaucratic new Association Agreement with the EU, it is vital to comprehend by contrast the political, philosophical, and emotional meaning of 'Europeanness' in public discourse and perceptions of the people. The book is a model of its kind, and the author might like to do the same next for Ukraine too.’ Michael Emerson, Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), Belgium ’This book provides an excellent insight on the, so far under-explored, dynamics behind the Euro-Atlantic discourse - its impact on Georgian identity and on the ever evolving geopolitical challenges of the region. Taking advantage of more than a decade working in and on the region, with first-hand experience of both the North and South Caucasus, Frederik Coene offers a unique account that the academic community, think tanks, and decision makers should consider a must read for future reference.’ Abel Polese, Tallinn University, Estonia ’The product of over a decade of painstaking research, Dr Coene provides a rigorous, intimate, and long-overdue analysis of Georgia's multifaceted relationship with the European Union. This illuminating and insightful work is essential reading for those who seek a nuanced understanding of Georgia’s quest for a new partner and patron to offset the attentions of its larger neighbour Russia.’ Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Dublin City University, Ireland»
