Rezumat

Main goal of this paper is to review internal and external factors that influence Georgia’s geopolitical orientation. Georgia finds itself in a difficult social, economic and political situation, as it gets closer to the parliamentary elections of 2016. Despite undeniable achievements, high unemployment, poverty, low income, economic stagnation and reduced FDI continue to have a priority on the governmental agenda. As a continuing problem, violated territorial integrity handicaps development prospects: two regions of the country (Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region – South Ossetia) are occupied by Russia. Moreover, in the coming months it is expected that Russia will annex Tskhinvali region. Georgia’s neighborhood – Middle East, Eastern Ukraine, Nagornii Karabakh, – are plunged into warfare.  Georgia is a parliamentary republic; accordingly, its foreign policy is defined by the government, which is being formed by the parliamentary majority. In this regard, 2016 parliamentary elections attain particular importance. These elections will demonstrate if the pro-Russian (Pro Eurasian) forces are successful enough to change country’s foreign political course. In this paper I will argue that despite very complicated internal and external situation there is a very little chance for Georgia to shift from its pro-western way of development.
