    („Smarty“ Publishing, 2025) Veshapidze, Shota; Jamagidze, Lela; Kereselidze, Levan; Putkaradze, Ramaz; Daudishvili, Tina; Kitashvili, Sopiko; Megreladze, Giorgi
    Georgia’s aspiration towards the European Union (EU), which represents a unique integration, is vital for fostering its economic growth, development and global competitiveness. A thorough analysis of the experiences of both EU member and non-member countries can be helpful for Georgia to deepen its European integration process. As a result, the country will be better positioned to transform existing challenges into opportunities in a consistent and successful manner. Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia has long held a strategic geopolitical position, enriched by its deep historical and cultural heritage. Since gaining independence, the country has actively engaged in European integration processes. The prospect of Georgia’s European integration encompasses multiple dimensions. Among them the present study focuses on the agricultural and industrial sectors, transport and trade infrastructure, investment growth, innovation, and the harmonization of national legislation the EU standards. A targeted and continuous commitment to European integration is essential, as this process directly contributes to opening new opportunities for Georgia, ensures stability, and fosters its resilient development. If this trajectory remains irreversible, Georgia will be able to achieve an optimal synthesis of universal EU values and standards. Consequently, integration with the EU will facilitate the country’s transformation into a more secure, democratic, and sustainable society, yielding economic benefits, improving social conditions and governance, and strengthening political stability and security. Today, Georgia faces an extraordinarily complex geopolitical environment. One of the most significant roles of the country is to function as a bridge connecting the West and the East—a role that is now more relevant than ever. To fulfill this function effectively, a precise analysis of the geopolitical landscape is required to maximize national benefits. Under the critical conditions Georgia currently faces, integration with the European Union represents a key instrument for safeguarding national interests. This integration should be pursued with a clear understanding of its implications, ensuring the best possible relations with neighboring states and the broader region.

    Modern international economic relations of Georgia
    („Smarty“ Publishing, 2024) Veshapidze, Shota; Bakhtadze, Lela; Putkaradze, Ramaz; Kharitonashvili, Jemal; Danelia, Irakli; Lominashvili, Mikheil; Chantladze, Nanuka
    The global economy has entered a new age of national security under current conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the vulnerability caused by our reliance on global supply chains and a lack of collaboration in combating global health hazards. However, what has most distinguished this new century is Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine, global economic devastation, food and energy warfare. Aside from the human and economic costs, the war in Ukraine has widened the schism between the Western and Eastern geopolitical blocs, which are centered on the United States and China, respectively. In the contemporary world, a country’s economic development is influenced by both local and external influences. As a result, in the context of modern socioeconomic growth, international economic ties are one of the most significant variables influencing Georgia’s long-term development. It helps to promote scientific and technical progress, the judicious use of natural resources, globalization of the world economy, the exchange of industrial expertise, the rapid growth of international economic ties, and worldwide commerce in products and services. The primary objective of global economic development is to maximize the benefits of the entire community’s combined economic capacity. At the same time, it is important to recognize that countries play different roles in this process, and the international importance of any country or its individual region is based on existing natural resources, economic development dynamics, its place in the global system of production of goods and services, and the existence and availability of financial resources. Georgia successfully participates in the global economic community, increases its export potential, expands economic cooperation with the rest of the world, and establishes mutually beneficial relations with the United States, the European Union, Azerbaijan, Armenia, the Middle East, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian republics, the Russian Federation, China, European countries, and Japan. A thorough grasp of international economic connections is required for Georgia’s incorporation into the global economy. As a result, it is critical to understand the associated developments of current world economic processes and their influence on Georgia. It is critical to determine where the sovereign state of Georgia’s future growth is heading, how it can secure the safety and well-being of its population, what its priorities are, and what the country’s external orientations are. In this context, the European integration of Georgia is an important issue. In a short period of time, Georgia received the status of a candidate for the European Union, and the country is successfully following the path of optimal synthesis of European values, advanced experience, sharing and establishment of achieved standards.
