The Transformation of Georgia from 2004 to 2012 : State Building, Reforms, Growth and Investments (Second edition)

How can developing countries become high-income nations?

What are the reference points for measuring national development, public leadership and government performance?

What is the nexus between public policies and geopolitical, political, emotional, historical, national governance-related, social and cultural norms, forces and factors which shape the process of the state building?

This second edition of the book elaborates on many of these critical interconnections, focusing on 9 years after Georgia's Revolution of Roses in November 2003.

The book explains what can be accomplished in two electoral terms at a given starting level of GDP per capita and which pitfalls to avoid.

It contributes to documenting an almost decade-long history of Georgia.
