Conclusion
This paper has sought to introduce a social scientific mechanics to
critically and systematically address the controversial issue of external inter-
ference in the internal affairs of the Georgian state during the Saakashvili era.
The model defined above aims to provide a foundation for analyzing these
relationships using both qualitative (i.e., historical and ethnographic) and
quantitative (i.e., statistical) methodologies. It is hoped that its application in
further studies will help to increase the understanding of post-Rose Revolu-
tion and post-August War Georgian political conditions as the nation contin-
ues the process of reconciliation, social evolution and institutional reform.
