REPORT Defense NATO Membership for Georgia: In U.S. and European InterestJanuary 29, 2018 Download ReportLuke Coffey

SUMMARY In August 2008, Russia invaded Georgia beginning a short but costly five-day war. Almost a decade later, thousands of Russian troops occupy Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region, which together equal 20 percent of Georgia’s internationally recognized territory. Since the war, Georgia has transformed its military. It meets the NATO standard for defense spending. Georgia has contributed thousands of troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, and hundreds of peacekeepers to the Balkans and Africa. Even with the Russian invasion and its aftermath, Georgia has not been deterred from fostering closer ties to the West. This has made Georgia a net contributor to transatlantic security. Since it regained independence in 1991 after the breakup of the Soviet Union, Georgia has been a beacon of hope in an otherwise turbulent region. It has seen successive peaceful transfers of power in open and free elections. It has embraced economic reforms to liberalize its economy. It is in America’s national interest to deepen the bilateral relationship with Georgia, help the Georgians improve their military capabilities, and keep Georgia on the path to NATO membership.
KEY TAKEAWAYS1. Georgia is an important U.S. ally located in a geo-strategically important region. It is in America’s interest to deepen bilateral relations with Georgia.
2. Georgia sent thousands of troops to Iraq/Afghanistan; hundreds of peacekeepers to the Balkans and Africa. Georgia is a net contributor to transatlantic security.
3. In 2008, NATO promised Georgia eventual membership. The NATO Summit in Brussels in July 2018 is an important opportunity for NATO to reaffirm this commitment.

Georgia’s fondness for freedom and liberty are nothing new. As the British diplomat and foremost Kartvelian, Sir Oliver Wardrop, wrote in his 1888 book, The Kingdom of Georgia: Travel in a Land of Woman, Wine and Song:
It is interesting to notice that the political ideas of the country are borrowed from Western Europe. Excepting in Japan, perhaps, there is no such instance of a people passing directly from feudalism to liberalism. The grandsons of absolute monarchs, the men who little more than a quarter of a century ago were large slaveholders, are now ardent champions of the democratic idea and loudly proclaim the freedom, the equality, and the brotherhood, of prince and peasant, master and man.5
Oliver Wardrop, The Kingdom of Georgia: Travel in a Land of Women, Wine, and Song (London: Luzac & Company, Ltd., 1888, reprinted in 1977), pp. 164 and 165.
While decades of Russian and Soviet domination have slowed down democratic progress, Georgia has been quickly making up for lost time since 1991. The U.S. must do everything it can to keep Georgia down the path of economic progress, democracy, and transatlantic and euroatlantic integration.
