ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL DOCUMENTS FORMING THE FRAMEWORKS OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY OF GEORGIA AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

In order to understand the foreign policy of Georgia and the Russian
Federation, and especially the regional policy, the study of the national security
strategies adopted by the government is of great importance. It is essential to
understand how geopolitical developments have affected the strategy of both
countries. In the article, we analyse the national security strategies of Georgia
and the Russian Federation, their priorities and the changes that have taken
place after geopolitical developments.
In the course of scientific work, we have set ourselves the following goals.
• To study the national security strategies of Georgia and the Russian
Federation,
• To analyse the changes that took place after the geopolitical
developments, which were included in the strategies of the two
countries,
• To analyse the strategic approaches of both countries for national
security and multilateral policy.
• During the study, we used the method of document and content
analysis, as well as the historical comparative method.
• Based on the goals set before us, we reached the following conclusions.
• The National Security Concept of Georgia does not fully represent
the situation that exists in the politics of Georgia.
• The main changes in Georgia’s strategies are related to Russia, but
it does not fully represent the current realities. Current changes in
Russia’s national security strategies are mainly related to geopolitical
developments
• In strategic approaches, Russia considers relations with the South
Caucasus at the regional level. Many of Russia’s strategic approaches
have lost their relevance after the developments related to Ukraine
in 2022.
