| In the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan emerged as independent countries, leading to a shift in the geopolitical landscape of the South Caucasus region. This research aims to analyze Georgia's geopolitical realities through a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) framework to better comprehend its regional role in the South Caucasus. The central question posed in the article is: "What is the impact of Georgia's geopolitical characteristics on its regional position?" The hypothesis put forward by the authors suggests that if Georgia adopts a balanced diplomacy approach, it can draw substantial investment into its infrastructure and establish itself as a key transit hub in the region. The findings indicate that Georgia holds a strategic position with significant potential to enhance its geopolitical standing through the development of transit routes (such as ports, railways, and pipelines), hydropower plants, and mineral resources. However, the country faces challenges stemming from its relatively small population, limited resources, and its proximity to major powers like Russia. Being a buffer state situated between NATO and Russia, Georgia is particularly susceptible to external pressures. Therefore, it is imperative for Georgia, as a small state, to pursue a diplomatic strategy that is neutral and balanced. By adopting an unbiased diplomatic stance in its foreign relations, Georgia can mitigate threats, build resilience, and attract increased foreign direct investment (FDI). | ||
