Abstract: Why do some countries become democratic while others don’t? There is a hot debate going on over this topic. Do some countries have more inclination towards democracy or they just worked hard to develop their political system and enjoy the results that they have nowadays? However, no one disputes over the fact that democracy is a long way to go. It is commonly known that the transition from authoritarian regime to the democratic one does not occur overnight. It takes long time and commitment to achieve the results. In this regard, it is important to research this path and discover the democratization process. This path is full of ups and downs; Georgia can serve as the vivid example of it. George Bush called Georgia “beacon of liberty”, nevertheless, Georgia is still considered to be a country in transition. The purpose of this paper is to research this transition period and to determine whether it is successful or not, or maybe the process is stagnant. So, the paper’s primary objective is to determine whether there was a stagnation of democratization in Georgia during Saakashvili’s presidency and to see at what stage is the democratization process in Georgia now. For this purpose the paper is divided into two chapters, Saakashvili’s period and post Saakashvili politics.
