Unresolved Dilemma of Georgia's Security Architecture

Abstract

The Georgian government claims to establish and maintain a foreign policy that removes Georgia from the Russian sphere of influence. Therefore, Tbilisi aims to create a security system that guarantees the further development of Georgian statehood. However, the more Georgia seeks to emphasize its desire to join NATO, the greater is the pressure from Moscow on Tbilisi. Thus, from the security perspective, Georgia is vulnerable more than ever before. In addition, there is no consensus among NATO members on potential membership of Georgia in the alliance. In fact, Georgia is knocking on a closed door. The question arises whether or not NATO membership can guarantee the security of the small of Georgia.
