Reforms, State Building and the Legacy

Dimitri Gvindadze ()

Chapter Chapter 1 in The Transformation of Georgia from 2004 to 2012, 2023, pp 1-14 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter shows what Georgia achieved in 2004–2012 in terms of growth, investment and fight against corruption. It reviews the rest of the book which explains how Georgia achieved this, which pitfalls to avoid and how to think of a state building. Key messages: (1) economic convergence with high-income countries can only happen through a comprehensive state-building process in which multiple internal and external factors amplify each other; (2) economics alone is an insufficient guide to development; and (3) unique paths of the economic convergence must be implemented by national leaders and they cannot be outsourced.
