Georgia’s Geopolitical Landscape
Georgia, a transcontinental country at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and West Asia, has long grappled with balancing its Western aspirations against Russian influence.
It borders the Black Sea to the west, Russia to the north and northeast, and other regional neighbors, including Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Once part of the Soviet Union, Georgia gained independence in the 1950s but remains a focal point of geopolitical rivalry.
