Arming Georgia in the Context of its Efforts to Join NATOReviewed - Review

Mgr. Lukáš Dyčka, Pavel Faus

This text focuses on process of armament policy of the Armed Forces of Georgia and how it was influenced by country's effort to join NATO. Authors argue that Georgia's proclaimed pro-western ambitions should have also been reflected in the process of materiel procurement. Authors investigate the time period from 2003 to 2008 when growing military expenditures reached it's top. Text shows that only few major acquisitions in that period were focused on western military equipment and that Georgia's military acquisitions did not reflect countrys inclination towards west and NATO.

Keywords: Armament Policy; NATO; War; Modern Armed Forces; Defence Policy; Modernization; Georgia; Russia.
