Georgia's Euro-Atlantic Integration: Prospects and Perils

Since the October 1 elections, Georgia's new government has drawn controversy mainly over its domestic policies. Meanwhile, the government has pledged to continue the efforts toward Euro-Atlantic integration, and hopes to move toward an Association Agreement with the EU at the Vilnius summit of the Eastern Partnership. But can the domestic developments and European integration be separated? What are Georgia's prospects at Vilnius? And how are Georgia's NATO aspirations developing?
