Abstract

The North-Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Georgia have been partners for almost 30 years during which the country has significantly enhanced its security and defense structures. Not only does partnership with NATO help Georgia to strengthen its security but it also encourages the country to improve institutional resilience and spread democratic values to increase its compatibility vis-à-vis NATO. Integration in the Euro-Atlantic structures has become especially prevalent in the Georgian public discourse after Russia’s illegal and brutal invasion of Ukraine when Georgia’s security architecture was put under question. Therefore, due to the revived interest in the topic of NATO-Georgia partnership, this article discusses the importance of practical and political cooperation between Georgia and NATO and analyses the importance of NATO’s role in strengthening Georgia’s security and defense.
