ანოტაცია

This paper considers the effect that knowledge has on Georgians’ attitudes about foreign policy alliances. Georgia’s current political course is directed towards the West and NATO membership. However, due to the difficult historical past, the Georgian population may have different wishes and expectations, and many might want to get closer to Russia. This article shows exactly whether the Georgian political course and the expectations of the population coincide with each other, and to what degree the most knowledgeable citizens of Georgia agree with the view of elites.
