Foreign Policy After Empire
Explaining Georgia's and Ukraine's International Orientation from Independence until 2021
Uppsala University 2024
My doctoral dissertation is a detailed study of Georgia's and Ukraine's foreign policy. It deals with problems states face when they become independent after imperial collapse, especially how to deal with the former hegemon, in this case, Russia. Drawing on a rich body of sources, which includes elite interviews conducted by the author, news articles, primary documents, diplomatic cables and secondary sources, the dissertation’s comparative approach sheds new light on almost 30 years of foreign policymaking in Georgia and Ukraine.
