State Formation In Post-Soviet Caucasus: New Forms of Regulatory Authorities And Citizenship: A Comparative Analysis
Mr. Gordadze's research project seeks to clarify processes issuing from the formation and transformation of state power in Soviet successor states since their independence. He hopes that his research approach and analytical categories will be applicable to other countries facing similar conditions. While at Yale, he plans to consult with numerous faculty members, and involve himself closely with several initiatives at YCIAS and the work of the Council on European Studies.
